Corn Maze

It was an absolutely gorgeous day on Thursday...almost 75 degrees, so Grandma Kristie, Jordyn and I decided to go to town and check out some seasonal fun. Corn Mazes are big around here, but none of us had ever been to one, so we decided today would be a great day for a corn adventure :)
The entrance was a large tent filled with pumpkins, scarecrows, and hay bales...and Jordyn would have been perfectly happy just running around in there...or so we thought!


We had a hard time getting Jordyn to put down the pumpkins and leave the tent, but when we walked thru the entrance onto the pumpkin patch she got very excited! Wow...theres more!!! We had three mazes to choose from, naturally we opted for the Little Miss Mazie Maze...didnt want to get lost with the little one :) Jordyn didnt quite get it at first and kept trying to leave the maze, but then Grandma would sneak up ahead to hide and Jordyn would run to find her. I followed along with the camera, trying to get the perfect shot!


We came around one turn and a huge flock of crows took flight...it reminded me of that painting by Van Gogh, and i wished i had been quicker with the camera because i missed it :(
After our adventure in the maze, we wandered over to some gigantic hay bales that some kids were climbing on. They were older kids...12ish...but Jordyn tried to keep up anyways. She jumped, stomped, ran, rolled and even dove in the hay. She had fun running her fingers thru it like it was a sandbox, and soon she was covered with hay! Good thing she wasnt allergic! :) After that we checked out the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch! She kept trying to pick them up to take with her, but they were pretty big and she finally gave up! But her favorite part of the whole trip...the tractor/hay ride! We piled into a wagon filled with hay bales and enjoyed a lap around the farm!

The look on her face was priceless...she was thrilled, and serious all at once. She held on to the side of the wagon and stared in awe of the giant rumbling beast that was pulling us, and wouldnt take her eyes off it for a second! When the ride was over, she had to examine the giant wheels on the super cool tractor. Then it was getting late, so we packed up the car and headed home. She was asleep before we left the parking lot! What a grand adventure!
