This past weekend, the kids (Braden & Mark :)) and I went to the Mayfield Corn Maze in Athens. We went with our neighbors (Jason, Julie and Joshua) and had a wonderful time. They have several things to do and lots of fun for the kids. They have corn silos, two different lengths of corn maze (2 vs 8 acre), several animals to see (rabbits, goats, sheep, cows, and pot bellied pigs), a pumpkin patch, hay rides, and a bon fire to enjoy as well. We decided to try our luck at the 2 acre corn maze and got lost, but it was still so much fun. The kids were going in opposite directions at each juncture! We also did the hay ride and let Joshua and Braden pick out pumkins. I can still hear each thud as they picked up each one and literally TOSSED it down trying to make their final decision. I almost forgot the most entertaining part - milking the fake cows!! Yep, you read that right. They haved cardboard cows with "utters" that you can "milk" into a bucket. Josh absolutely LOVED this part. He smiled ear to ear as he ran around screaming "I'm milking the cows" over and over while giggling. It was so cute! Braden, on the other hand, was not so sure about this particular event. He tried his hand at it (pardon the pun) a couple of times, but then enjoyed watching Josh take it from there.
Here are some pictures of this weekend's adventures:
