A"maize"ing Fun!


Last Saturday afternoon, once sports were finished and everyone had a chance to rest, we ventured to the Maize at Little Darby Creek. 

Each year the "Maize" changes.  This year the maze commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  Both boys are history enthusiasts and I figured it might be the only way to get them to a corn maze--they were definitely intrigued.

We decided it would be appropriate to enjoy kettle corn while getting "lost" in the maze.  Let the adventure begin!!

Apparently, I'm easily amused--I thought this sign was hilarious, but my family just passed it by.

I followed their lead--whether it led us in the right direction or in circles.

Somehow, after struggling with our directions, we managed to find the maze exit.  I'm still shocked the boys agreed to this picture!

The slides were fun for young and old alike.  Noah FLEW down the corn chute and...

bumped along down the washboard slide.



We enjoyed the farm animals--we spent quite a bit of time watching the goats.  Trey discovered a pulley system that delivered food to the goats atop the tower.  Of course, they're conditioned to notice the food, but Trey sent it up to them...empty.  Poor goats!


The boys thought the manual carts were a lot of fun.  It was hard, but they refrained from bumping into one another.
 We thoroughly enjoyed our family time together and the boys suggested we return next year!
