Sever's Corn Maze

Yesterday, I gave Rosebud a quiz and one of her answers referred to the fact that I am....uh hum....shall I say.....directionally challenged. So today we went to a huge corn maze. It was the size of 7 football fields! There were 26 signs to be found within, each with a letter of the alphabet on it. They gave you a map at the entrance and let's just say the girls decided that it would be safer for all of us if they led the search! LOL And can I just say that I am thrilled all three of them did GREAT! I was truly amazed. It was very difficult and took us well over an hour to wind our way around and around then find our way out! As you can see the girls were very proud to have made it through AND find all the letters! For an additional fee you could sling pumpkins at different bulls eyes.....
(Side note: This dad kept stepping into my view right when I took the pic. The first pic, not a problem, but by the 5th or 6th.....c'mon!"
It was so much fun to watch them aim high, aim low and then SMACK that pumpkin on the bulls eye and watch it explode!
This was the corn launcher. She landed all three of her pieces perfectly through the end zone!


If you look closely you can see the field goal next to the big bulls eye.
Inside the corn maze.....looking for the next letter.
Camel rides!


They also had an exotic animal petting zoo. It was by far the coolest thing I've ever seen! I was fascinated by the kangaroos. They had several mama's with baby's in their pouches! I've read about them before, but seeing them in person was so much better! Their legs, their tails, they were so strong! The pouches were strong yet thin enough that we could watch the baby's wiggle and squirm and stick out their hands and feet! Amazing!!

Not quite sure what she's doing with her head stuck all the way down in her pouch, but look how flexible she is!! Then there was the hay bale maze that the kids could either walk through......
or run across! Can you see Pillar in grey and Miracle in pink as they play tag??
Although the cow was fake, the utters if squeezed correctly would shoot out water. Yup....Pillar got me good! LOL
Having FUN in the maze!
Goofin' around, being silly!
It was truly a wonderful day!! We had so much fun together. I've always wanted to take the girls, but the price was too high. This year I found the deal of the century and was able to go. Wahoo!! I love it when the Lord does sweet things for me like that. Thank you Lord!

I've heard about those places for years and have never gone. One of my daughters has though. I need to plan a family outing. You all had so much fun; I think we can too.
