Corn Maze and Crazy Fish

Rebecca's way to shoot a deer or two

 While the older girls were at school today, James thought we were in need of some preschooler-sized adventure at the local Coldwater Trout Farm Corn Maze (don't forget the Pumpkin Patch, eh Samuel!)

Entering the maze

 The kids had a tough time entering the maze with all of the cool spooky stuff at the gate.

Frodo and the Spider

 James almost didn't make it into the corn himself!

 We let Samuel and Gabriella show us the way through the corn.  (They led us in a couple of short circles, but we don't think they noticed.  We were having too much fun!)

The owl knows...

Samuel and the Skeleton

 Samuel finally asked the Skeleton for directions.  He was honest because Samuel was so polite and shook his hand and everything.

Samuel and his pumpkin

 When we made it to the pumpkin patch, the kids were allowed to choose one gourd (or pumpkin) to take home with them.

 You can't visit a fish farm without feeding the fish!  Gabriella says she likes to feed them and keep them as pets, not eat them.

Gabriella wonders where how the fish sleep without houses

James & Rebecca feelin' fishy

James helped Samuel pet the fish. 

Gabriella really likes the large trout pond

We also learned that there is a picnic area for rent for $45/half day complete with volleyball sand court and bowery.  Fun stuff!  Samuel was really upset that we couldn't catch any of the wild cats to bring home with us.  We think the owner was too.
