First trip to the Orchard this year

What a beautiful day for an orchard visit! We got season's passes this year and decided to start it off last weekend. The favorites were still the corn pool and giant bouncy cushion. This year we elected to go on the corn maze adventure. It was 4 acres of corn maze with 10 hidden objects. Thank goodness for daddy's sense of direction and methodical tracking or we would still be wandering around! The kids got really into it, and only quibbled over who would lead. Kenna even surprised us in the end and let Zachey find the last item (even though she saw it first...pretty cool kid!)
















Here the kids are pretending to be children of the corn...they have no idea what that is :)




The day was going splendidly, but Zach had some control problems. He couldnt help throwing rocks on the bouncy cushion or hay on the giant slide. After multiple warnings we had to take away his treat...and I think there is nothing more torturous than watching your siblings eat ice cream while you drink bottled water....he let his unhappiness be known and we left for the day. I know he will get through this impulse control phase...can't wait!
