Firsts ~ Corn Maze

Seems unnatural that our pumpkin and corn maze afternoon took place on the first snow day of the season, but then again, God knows how dearly I ache for Colorado, so He was obviously making me feel at home. And, it's New England so the weather most likely will change drastically in the next five minutes.

James made it clear that corn is not for playing or for mazes ;) but he surely had a wonderful time ... winter hat and all (not loving all the layers just yet).

This corn maze was in the shape of a turtle ... or as corrected by James to the nice young lady taking our money, a "tortoise" ... and it was 7 acres HUGE. There were ten mailboxes with questions about turtles and the right answer was our clue to walk in the correct direction. It took two hours. Clearly we need a lesson on turtles. Eh em, tortoises.

It was gorgeous outside ~ a little snow on the ground, 40 degrees, white puffy clouds, sunshine, and fall foliage. 



 

Draft Horses ~ stunning


 










You're Lost



After 90 minutes we made it to the eye of the turtle. Phew.
