In early October a man came into Mark's store and was telling him about the corn maze that he and his family create each year on their farm. It sounded really neat and Mark always likes to support those who support him so we made sure to go out to the corn maze the very end of October. We really weren't sure what to expect, but when we got there they gave us a map and instructed us to go through the maze trying to find the 15 (??) spots in the maze which were all marked with a stuffed animal on a stick. It was a lot of fun running around in the corn with the kids and we did get turned around several times. We eventually found all of the markers and our way out!
We then picked out our pumpkins for the year (finally! I was beginning to think we weren't going to get to it...) There wasn't much left to pick from so that made the choice much easier! The boys spent quite awhile playing with the corn box and looking and touching all the crazy shaped gourds and pumpkins. The people there were so friendly and were happy to talk to the boys all about them.
We also got to check out some animals - Isaiah has never been one to be very impressed with animals or interested in them, but Levi always has been. He was thrilled when they told him he could hold a little kitten and couldn't take his eyes off the goats. Just as we were leaving they even let the boys feed the cow.
I'm so glad that farmer stopped into our store and that we made the time to visit his farm! Can't wait for next year!
