This and That: Corn Maze

Last Saturday we took advantage of the lovely fall day and went to Severs Corn Maze. I have wanted to go for years, but we have never made it there - this year we did and it was fantastic. They have been doing this maze in the corn field for 14 years and they always do a different design. This year was a tribute to the MN Vikings.

One of the first things we did was play around in a small maze of straw bales that they had set up. The kids had a blast!

Next we decided to tackle the corn maze - we let the kids take turns deciding which way we were going to turn - They all got a kick out of that. It was so fun to be in the corn on these really nice wide paths just wandering around. Some people were following their exact paths on the map they gave you and others were just meandering like we were. It was so peaceful in there.

that just hit him came from...

Just realized that Dad was flicking them
and wasn't going to stay around for more:-)

Once we got done in the corn maze, we stopped for a photo with the mascot!
The boys thought it was pretty cool!

They had an exotic petting zoo there, so we were able to see and pet some really different animals. You can make the pictures bigger by clicking on them.

Last but not least, was the Corn Pool. It was HUGE. They took large square hay bales and turned them on their side, filled it with over 10,000 bushels of corn and had it all under a huge tent. The corn was so cool to the touch, and relaxing and just fun to play in. The kids were jumping, rolling, swimming and digging in it. I have never seen anything like it before.
