The Corn Maze

Well hello. Yes it's me, the blogging failure. June 26? Was that really that last time I made a new post?
Anyway, I thought I would share our latest adventure. My friend, Jessie, introduced us to the Oakes Corn Maze last year. There were a lot of activities in which to participate. However, because we were short on time and James was a little small at five months old, we didn't do too much. Ryan had fall break this week, so we decided to make a return visit. Can I just say that we had a blast? James loved it! There were a few activities he wasn't too sure about. He was terrified of the farm animals (yes, even the bunnies). He was scared of the sand pit and the trough of corn, but we found plenty to keep us entertained. 
The slides were one of  James' favorites. He did take a bit of a rough tumble when Dad tried to send him down alone...

 This was a giant air balloon thing. James was a little nervous at first, but really liked it after he got used to it. It was a bit tricky to run on though:

 The corn maze. James has a pretty good sense of direction. He got us out.
 The corn was pretty cool as long as we didn't try to put him in it.
 James was the one doing all the work.
 
 Ryan liked the pedal tractors. James thought it was pretty fun too.
 Ryan would kill me if he knew I was posting this...
 Yes, that pumpkin behind us is real. 1050 lbs baby!

James got to choose his very own pumpkin to bring home. He likes to put stickers on it. We're trying to decide if we're going to get more adventurous in decorating it.
Well, that's all folks!
