Last Sunday we took the kids to the Corn Maze. We'd been putting it off and I knew if we didn't do it before Sarah's surgery we wouldn't make it at all. Charlie didn't see what the big deal was to miss it this year, but he doesn't talk about it with Sarah on a daily basis. There was no way I was missing that Corn Maze.
It was way better than I expected. I thought it would take them a couple of minutes, but would be very simple. It really wasn't. No, we didn't get stuck and have to call 911, but it was still a little bit of a challenge. It was especially a challenge for me because Amanda was scared of the corn and refused to walk so I had to carry her 30-pound self through the entire thing (except the short time at the beginning when Charlie carried her). Corn is not scary, so I don't know what her problem was.
There were dead ends and multiple paths to try and the kids really had a great time. I was so happy that it didn't suck that I enjoyed it too. The word is still out on Charlie, but secretly I think he liked it as well. Afterwards the kids stayed and played on some tires and hay and the slide and then we bought some miniature pumpkins that we put by the front door.
The only bad thing about the whole trip was the weather. Looks gorgeous in the photo, doesn't it? Yes, it was, too gorgeous. It was 85 degrees. Now I know my friends up north would probably love to hang out at the pumpkin patch on a sunny day in 85 degree weather, but it's not as fun as it looks. I'd like it to be fall, just a little, and feel the brisk air as we're walking through the Corn Maze. I don't want to be sweating, or in shorts, I want to wear jeans and a sweatshirt and drink some hot cider. Oh well, the price you pay so you don't have to shovel snow.
As for the Corn Maze, we'll be back next year.
