Pumpkin Patch & Corn Mazes

Every year in Snowflake there is a pumpkin patch and corn maze. I have always wanted to go, but just have never done it. Finally this year we went! The corn maze is turned into a haunted maze at night, but its too scary for kids so we just did it during the day. My brother Spenser and his wife Stormy came home for the weekend so we made it a family outing with my mom and all my siblings. Before we went to Snowflake we went and supported my sister at her soccer game, and then headed from Holbrook to Snowflake. It made for a long day, but it was SOOO worth it!
At the corn maze they had a game sort of set up. Throughout the maze there were posts and you had to find them to and punch a hole in your paper. There were like 6 different shapes you had to find and it was pretty hard to do, but if you found them all you got a candybar. I swear I couldn't tell one row from another, so I basically spent the time following everyone else. No shapes were found by me. When all was said and done we were able to find all the posts and make it out of there in just under 2 hours. It was WAY fun! Brody really had a good time too. He picked up several "souvenier" corn cobs while we were in there.

After that we headed over to the pumpkin patch. I have never visited a pumpkin patch because I've always just bought my pumpkins at a grocery store. I don't think I have ever seen so many pumpkins. It was fun to see all the different sizes and colors. They were even catapulting pumpkins in one area.
Overall, such a fun day spent with my family! I hope to be able to go again in the future!
