A Trip to a Corn Maze

Last week our neighbor invited me and Leah to join her and another neighbor for a trip to a corn maze. As it turned out, taking three 2-year-olds and an almost 1-year-old through a big corn maze was a bad idea! We made it about 10-15 minutes before we decided that wandering around in circles at a snail's pace was not the way we wanted to spend our afternoon. But we did get a few cute pictures of the kids playing in the corn maze before we went back to the maze entrance (we were still so close to the entrance, it was very easy find.)

Fortunately they had tons of other activities for the kids to enjoy. They all had a lot more fun trying everything else than they were having in the corn maze. Here they are trying the duck races, although the pumps were so hard to pump that none of them could actually do it by themselves. But that didn't stop them from playing in the water.

Another favorite were these big tractors, trucks, buses and trains that they could climb all over and slide off of.

One of Leah's favorite things was the cow train. It was a tractor pulling a train of "cars" made out of barrels painted like to look like cows. She wasn't sure about it at first, but loved it by the time the ride was over.

She also loved these swings made out of tires. Some of the other attractions included a jumping pillow, bounce houses, slides, pig races, and hay bales for climbing, just to name a few.

We were only there a couple of hours or so before we needed to leave. But it was getting hot and Leah still hadn't had a nap. So it was probably good that we needed to go. As we were driving home, Leah said, "Mommy, that was a fun day!" Without a doubt, she had a great time. Maybe I can try to get her there again this month. She'd love it!
