~Happy Fall!!!

~Ramseyer Farms~
Help! I'm SOOOO tired & I'm lost in a cornfield!!!!
Good Job - you found wooster!

We spent the day at Ramseyer Farms with friends, Tiffany, Sawyer & Tanner. What a blast! There is so much to do. There were 2 corn mazes (5 acres each). The birthday cake maze looks really difficult, and it was, but we had a picture to guide us so it was bit easier. I can't imagine trying to doing it without a lil help tho. Funny thing is the kids still swear that THEY are the ones that got us out of there. It probably had nothing to do with Tif and I saying "go right" "go left" "that's a dead end up there, come back" nope, probably not. We couldn't have had a better weekend! After it's been in the 50's + 60's for the past few weeks, the 80's were a welcome surprise. It started getting awfully warm running around the maze, poor Tanner was so hot he started strippin LOL We were REALLY happy when we found the end of the maze (see Sawyer celebrating?).....

The Ohio maze "looks" easier than the other maze, as long as you can find the Indiana state boarder you could find your way out - no prob. But it actually ended up being a bit harder because the kids wanted to find the stamps for the back of our paper. All 6 stamps formed the great seal when complete. So we ended up running all over the state (literally) because the stamp stations were hidden - finding them was suppose to be 1/2 the fun. We spent a long time looking for the last one, but I finally called it quits. It was just too hot by late afternoon, I actually came home with a sunburned!

I think the kids favorite thing was the hay bale obstacle course, followed by the spud slinger :-)
I think the slide that ended in a ton of corn was cool. There was a wagon train pulled by a john deere. Tanner really liked the John Deere made out of hay bales. And the bunny village with the "hare solon" was adorable. They thought of imaginative way to feed the goats. There was a mini corn maze for the smaller kids and several box mazes that were pretty impossible to get lost in (for adults anyways) The Akron zoo had some critters there. There was a big Cornbox (instead of a sandbox) There was live music & some farm animals to feed. Lots of games. And of course a hayride & LOTS of pumpkins.(we didn't buy ours there, we get our from the amish neighbors for $1 or $2) And lots of food like pumpkin donuts, chili dogs, ice cream, cider, fresh chips and fries from the farm potatoes :-)

That looks awesome! I might have to fork out the dough to let the kids go to another pumpkin patch.

Okay, so how do you know Tiffany? She graduated with Nate. Small world!

That is a fun place. We had Drew's 6th birthday party their last year. It was a lot of fun!

I hope they has concession stands in those corn maizes!

That is so funny, because we went there too. We were just to cheap to fork up the big bucks. If we didn't have baby Jordyn with us, we may have gone for it. I wasn't up to hauling her around, though. :)
