The Hay Maze

Most years we go to Rocky Creek Farm for the pumpkin patch. This year we ended up doing something different with friends from college who were in town visiting! This year we went to the Hay Maze, something we'd never done before.

Ellie and Makala became fast friends, and held hands all through the hay maze as they searched for the next checkpoint!

We were given these cards and had to find 4 stations through the maze - if you filled out your card, you got free candy. =D

Of course, when you go to redeem your free candy card, you have to go to the concession stand and the kids see that there is also cotton candy. =D Yes, we got some cotton candy....

They also had a little train for the kids (and parents) to ride, so the girls and I went on that. It was very cute and the girls loved it!

(and yes, Ellie and Makala did just happen to be wearing pink bottoms and purple gap sweatshirts the same day! I think it added to the friendship.)

The "conductor"

There were a couple other things to do at the hay maze, including a tent with a corn-box (like a sandbox filled with feed corn) that the girls LOVED!

There was also a pumpkin patch, where we got our pumpkin for carving. Of course, I have a silly girl, so all I got were silly pictures...

I think we will definitely go back to the hay maze next year! I'm hoping we'll make it to Rocky Creek, too, since I really am sad we didn't get to go this year. Fall activities are so fun!!
