South 47 Farm --Corn Maze





Sunday morning we headed out to meet Patrick's friend from school, Jackson and his family at the corn maze. We were a little worried that it would be muddy due to Saturday's rain but it wasn't to bad, just a little slippery in spots. Ciara fell a few times when she was running to catch uop with the bigger kids! When we left our house with all three kids across the backseat, Kailey, Ciara, and Patrick, there was not a peep all the way there! This is an amazing feat, usually there is total choas. Of course, I forgot Patrick's boots so he had to wear his Crocs but did fine. The corn maze is $7 per person which I think is a little high!

They give you a "map" of the corn maze but it is not really a useful map. There are eight questions throughout the maze, if you answer the question right the maze is about a mile if you answer incorrectly it can be 2 miles. We never found #5 but got the rest of them. Halfway through the maze Patrick said " Can we go home? This place is too "corny"!" The things that these kids say crack me up! But there are so many option after answering the question that I think we walked a lot farther! Ciara would not walk most of the way so Pat and I took turns carrying her--definately not stroller friendly but maybe a wagon would work! There are a lot of photo opportunitys throughoput the farm which is all free! There is a hay ride which would have been fun but we did not have enough time and Ciara was ready to crash--she was so tired!


It is worth checking out if you have not been there! We will be going back in October for a preschool fieldtrip. But I am very happy that we were able to spend some time with Jackson and his family before Samantha goes on her book tour in October!
