corn maze

This weekend we struggled to find a reason to get out and about. Although the weather was beautiful, the kids had already played soccer and football by Saturday afternoon. I suggested a pumpkin patch/corn maze. No one was really excited but we went. Stood in line for 30 minutes to ride a hay wagon out to the fields. I was getting cranky but we decided to do the corn maze. Its like a 9 acre corn maze. I have never done this before and was a little freaked out. Luckily my son the genius could just look at the map and had no trouble guiding us all through. It was really fun. The best best part was if you found some hidden spots, you could redeem a coupon for a free doughnut at the bakery. We skipped picking out our pumpkin from the patch and found one near the store. We bought our pumpkins, ate doughnuts and drank apple cider. The doughnuts were warm and cinnamon sugar, the best doughnuts I have ever eaten. It was a great day! They also had farm animals around including peacocks, emu, and llamas. Weird farm animals, huh?
