Fall Fun - Corn Maze

We've been so blessed with a warm October (so far!).  The kids have been enjoying the time to play outside and then I can get some more yard work done.  I've also been slowly painting the dining room, stairway, living room, and kitchen.  I'm not done with all of it yet, but the warm weather helps.  The kids have also enjoyed having a campfire in the fire pit out back.  They dont really cook marshmallows, but they eat all the fixings for s'mores separately.  :)  We also had some fun with glow sticks and even put them on the cat and dog!  It was rather entertaining to see a green streak go by and know it was our young male cat, Adventure Boy.  (What a name, huh?  Thank you Alex.)

We also took a day and visited a corn maze.  The kids had a blast and enjoyed running through the acres of corn.  The farm also has games for the kids like straw tunnels, tricycles and pumpkin races.  But they really enjoyed the 10 acres of pick-your-own pumpkins and the wagon ride out to the patch!  They had any kind you can think of.  We let the kids each pick a little one or two and then we bought one big one to carve.  We also brought a pack lunch and we ate at one of the picnic spots in the woods.  We met some friends there and so the kids all had a blast.  We just might have to make this a yearly thing.
