Halloween Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the Country Mercantile’s Harvest Fest on Saturday so they could pick their own pumpkins and do the large corn maze (or is it a maize maze?).

They have quite a racket going. $3 for the corn maze, $4 for the hay ride, petting zoo (animals in pens), hay bale pyramid, and hay bale maze, or $5 for both ‘packages’. Cheap as I am, we paid the $3 for the kids and figured we could walk out to the pumpkin patch.

The kids had fun wandering through the maze. They went through multiple times; attempting to get lost. While they were in the maze I went to get a wagon that we could use in the patch. Well, the only way they will let you go to the pumpkin patch is to ride the hay wagon! Argh!

I tried to convince the kids they could just pick a pumpkin out of the bins next to the store, but they really wanted to pick one from the pumpkin patch, so I ended up having to buy myself a $4 pass to take the kids. We did have a good time. I told the kids they could pick any pumpkin as long as they could carry it, and they did find the largest ones.

Now it is time to do some carving.
