An Evening at the Corn Maze

Our church got together and went to a corn maze a few weeks ago.  


I've never been to a corn maze before and neither had the Blossoms!


Reading the map was super tricky. 


We managed to navigate our way through, out, and into the game area of the farm.


We found the giant hamster wheels to be quite entertaining.  Blossom4 seemed to have a particular bent for it.  Her scrambling reminded us of a little gorilla's coordination.  


Giant skee ball was fun but virtually impossible, in my opinion.


Maybe the Rugged Mountain Man can do it!


Getting that bowling ball to roll just hard enough to hit the end and not roll back only partially was so challenging.  We cheered, held our breath, cheered and giggled here.

This was after we got scared out of our skin by the jarring noises made when you mess up in the giant game of Operation!  Blossom2 was much better than the rest of us at it!


A rope obstacle course was complicated, but cool.  The girls were hooked to the rope and then cautiously made their way through the web of colored ropes.  


Blossom1 and Blossom4 love a good game of Connect Four.  


Blossom2 and Blossom3 lifted the ropes and held them taut as they rolled the ball and released it into the bucket at the end.  I quickly won this game twice, which I felt great about until the Rugged Mountain Man showed me that he also man-handled this game... on the first try.


We convinced Daddy to go through the corn maze one more time, navigating more confidently this time.  


Then, we headed home to watch a football game together, but not before stopping at Walmart so we could pick up supplies for grilled wings.  The Rugged Mountain Man treated us to his version of grilled goodness!  We're serious fans!
