Maize Valley

We spent an afternoon at Maize Valley farms. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun. They had these cute signs set up for photo ops. We are thinking of using the farm animal photo for our Christmas card this year:-)

Hay bales were all over the place and each was spray painted to resemble a different jack-o-lantern face. The kids really liked the pumpkin with buck teeth.

They had these super fun carts. One person pushed and the other person steered the cart. There were three of these carts so while we waited for our hay ride we raced. The winner usually had a good driver. Mackenzie was really good at making sharp turns and therefore dumping herself off of the cart. Alexa and Dayton usually kept the cart straight.

There was a really fun playground with a silo/sand box, a tire obstacle course, and a pipe/ haybale tunnel slide area.

The corn maze...we went through the maze looking for the lines to a song created by the farm. The song was to the tune of "Green Acres." There were 4 lines and we found 3 and then ended up at the end of the maze so we went back through to fine the line we had missed. It was a fun maze and ended up taking us just 30 minutes. We were told before hand that the maze would take us and hour and a half. Some of us just had a really good sense of direction.After the corn maze and the playground we went on a hay ride pulled by a tractor. It was a long ride too. Part of the ride was a stop at the pumpkin patch. The deal was that we could get a pumpkin but they had to stay at grandma's house because we didn't have room to take them home to Indiana. Each kid took the time to select the perfect pumpkin.
