A few weeks ago the kids were out of school on a Friday and Shelly Smith from church organized a "field trip" for us to a pumpkin patch and corn maze in Missouri. It was a bit of a drive to get there, but the kids had so much fun--we'll definately make it a yearly trip from now on!
There was so much to do! First we watched an educational video about all the uses for corn. It was a little bit too much information for some of the little kids. They wanted to play with the pumpkins instead!
After the video we went on a hay ride and then the kids road the "Cow Train" that was pulled behind a tractor.
All the kids enjoyed playing in the cornbox--like a sandbox but with corn instead. Alexis and Trista made "corn angels."
Dallin's favorite part was pumping water down the trough to see if his duck would reach the other end first!
There was even a cave for the kids to explore.
Other attractions included wooden slides that the kids rode down on potato sacks or boards, basketball, a corn cannon, the corn maze, a small, stinky petting zoo with chickens, pigs, a goat and a sheep (Trista was very interested in looking but DID NOT want to touch!). We enjoyed a picnic lunch at the tables provided, and by the time we left all the kids were worn out and enjoyed a nap on the ride home!
