Our first corn maze (ok everyone but Cindy)



We went to a corn maze / pumpkin patch the other day with some friends. I don't know why I'd always imagined a corn maze as an actual maze that I'd get lost in and never find my way out. Luckily you just try to find all the stations and punch your card to verify that you found them (I was ok only finding 3 of like 20 stations and calling it good) :) There were little animals to pet and feed along with a maze (that was supposed to be for kids probably 6 and under) built out of hay bails. I got crawling back in the hay maze and had to turn sideways a couple times to keep from getting stuck. There was also a 40' long slide coming out of the loft of a big barn that the kids loved. Cade ended up going down head first on his stomach. We had a really good time, cold weather and all.

Nate, some ARE actually mazes that you can get lost in. Especially when they turn them "haunted" at night. But given your track record with treacherous situations, it's probably best you didn't go to one of those.

We took the kids to a straw maze last week after Macie's baptism. They stack these huge half ton straw bales 2 high and make a huge maze out of them. It was pretty cool. I guess they do it haunted on the weekend nights. I'm glad you had your first experience! Cindy might remember; there was a corn maze down by Shelley sometime round 1998-1999. I went with some friends and literally was stuck in that thing for 2 hours! It was great! Glad to hear you guys are doing well!

It does look kind of chilly, but everyone looks like they're having a good time. Happy autumn to you all. The kids look like they're growing like weeds-especially Sadie. Give them all hugs from Grandma and kisses to you all. Love you-G'ma Pete
