We drove up to a semi-local corn maze, but the parking lot was almost full and the line to get in was at least 20 minutes long. Even though it is a fun place, it just wasn't worth waiting in line for. So, we drove the 45 minutes back home and to a corn maze and fun place just down the road. Next year, we'll know better!!
The kids had fun going through the maze and choosing which way to go. I loved watching Sweet Pea go through the mental deductions of which way to go next.
Sweet Pea: I can choose now?
Me: Yep! Whichever way you want to go!
SP: Well, if we go to the left, it could be a dead end and then we would be stuck and have to turn around. BUT, if we go to the right, that could also be a dead end. But then again it might not be. We keep going to the top of the maze (I showed them a picture of the maze before we went through), so maybe we should keep going that way, but it would also be away from the end. Mommy? I think we should go to the right.
Great choice, and to the right we went! Sweet Pea showed such intelligence and analytical thinking, it was amazing to listen to him and watch him come to his own conclusions and for him to be happy with it, no matter the outcome!
At the end of the maze, I twisted my ankle, so the kids played in the big sand pit and picked out pumpkins and then we went home. Next time, I'll watch out for the pot holes and we'll do all the "other" stuff first before the maze!
