pumkins and corn mazes






With Halloween approaching we finally headed out to a pumpkin patch. I wasn't expecting too much, but this place really went out of their way to make sure it was a great experience!! We first hit the corn mazes. There were two of them and they gave us a little map. Within the maze there were numbered hole punches and you were supposed to find all of them and punch the corresponding number on your paper. Luckily we had Matt with us and I guesse the Army was good for something because he was able to get us through the mazes without a hitch. In fact, we had families joining up with us because they had been wandering around lost for quite awhile. We also had a bag of kettle corn and some water in case we didn't make it out :) It was neat to watch them make the kettle corn, they popped it in this huge tub and then dumped it into a vat. You can't really see it that well in the picture, but the kids sat there and watched them for quite awhile.
Then it was pumpkin time and luckily the kids were not to particular when it came to picking out the perfect one. the next stop was at the corn trailer where we choose our corn and then shucked it right there.
All in all we really had a great time and can't waite to do it again next year.
