A-maize-ing Fall Fun


Spoiler alert: It's not really corn.
Despite the hype, the Staheli corn maze is actually made up of some sort of tall wheat grass. But you can't blame them for the misnomer. Who would want to go to a wheat maze if they marketed it as such? Sounds lame.
When we pulled up in the parking lot, Ella practically hit the ground running. And then she didn't stop until we were buckling her back in to go home. With such attractions as the redneck trampoline (a mattress surrounded by bales of hay), horse tire swings, petting farm, slides, and a sandbox full of corn, how could the actual corn (wheat) maze even hold a candle?

Do Ella and Ailee look worried? We actually paid additional money to stick our sweet little kiddos in a train made of water buckets that was going 100 miles an hour while being driven by a 12-year-old on a tractor.

Let the record show that taking pictures in a dark, dusty place is next to impossible. And getting Ella to hold still for more than 5 seconds IS impossible.

What a clever title. Your creativity astounds me. I can't believe that Avery is getting so big!

Yeah, I found you! You really do exist just like your five billion shooting stars this morning. These pictures are so cute. And you are definitely a hotie in that top left picture.

So I totally meant the top right picture. Sorry!

That was a fun night. Glad we went together. I love that picture of Ailee and Ella. Yes, they look worried and we were so glad to see our girls still in there when the train returned.

Thanks again for the invite. Our kids had a blast and so did we. We didn't make it to the "wheat maze", but we sure made good use of everything else. It sure beat all of the maizes up north. Besides the mazes themselves, the whole experience was rather lame.

That looks like such fun . . . although the water bucket train does look a bit sketchy. Oh well. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
