Jamie's class (with two other classes) took a field trip to Canon City to visit Diana's Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze. I agreed to be a parent sponsor but, since there were more parents than expected, space on the school bus was limited. Mrs. Price guaranteed that "there will be puking", so I was quite happy to drive my own car. Lynn, Tiffany & Tracy rode with me to the pumpkin patch and then we switched it up and Lynn & Tiffany and our three kiddos made the trip home.
I was impressed with the Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze...it's something that I'd like to visit again next year as a family. We split into small groups of 3-4 kids with an adult and started in the corn maze. I don't know how long we were in there but, we were lost! It felt like we were just going around in circles. We never did find the "out" but finally made our way back to the spot we entered...we were so happy to be out of the maze that we didn't care! I would've loved to have gone back in and tried again but we didn't have time.
After the corn maze, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. Each kid was told that they could get as big a pumpkin as they could carry...then the kids found the wagons...so much for that idea! Jamie wandered around a bit before deciding on the perfect pumpkin. It was too big for him...yeah, I caved and carried it for him!
We sat around the campfire and ate our packed lunches. Then the kids got to make s'mores!
One of the highlights for the kids was the corn bin, filled with corn kernels. They had fun digging, piling and jumping into the corn bin. Jamie did a cannonball into the corn.
Finally, there was a hayride around the pumpkin patch and corn maze. There were a lot of different activities to keep everyone busy for most of the day. Mr. Felton kept the brains stimulated by providing fun pumpkin facts throughout the day.
