Black Island Farm Corn "Maize"

The weekend before Halloween, we went to the Black Island Farm Corn "Maize". We took Sienna's friend Kayla with us, giving her mom Leesa (my best friend) a much needed day off from everything. She needed the rest...and it was so much fun to have Kayla come along with us.

When we got there, we first went through this area where they sell all of their produce,
then found a huge expansive area set up like a playground! It was very cool.
There was a jack-o-lantern bouncy house,
some big slides,

...and some small slides too.
There was a pumpkin launching pad, a small tractor ride for the kids,

and a little area with a teeter totter and some big tires to climb on.
We got very lost in the phase 3 section
and the kids were worried we wouldn't make it out.

We re-assured them that we would and they calmed down a little.

After we exited the maze, we took the kids on a "Hay" Ride (really just a big tractor ride)
out to the pumpkin patch, where we all got to get off the trailer and go pick out a pumpkin - one for each of us!
When we found our perfect pumpkin, we were supposed to stand by it and raise our hand until the farmer came along to cut and de-thorn the stem.

Gunnar caught onto this concept very well!

We wore the kids out...
...which really made for a pleasant ride home.
Gunnar was so wiped out, he couldn't even wake up for pizza when we got home.
What a great day! It was so much fun and we are excited for next fall so we can go again!
