Corn Maze, Hay Ride, and Pumpkins

Today we went to a local farm that every fall is transformed into a corn maze. This was a great trip that a few of our Scout Dens went on. The maze was separated into two different mazes. The first was 1.8 miles long and the second was 2.5 miles. We ended up doing both sides. Due to the drought this year the corn was not as tall as it normally can get (normally it is about 8 ft. tall), so we could at times see over the top of the corn stalks.


We also went on a hay ride that lead to a field of pumpkins (not exactly the sea of orange I would like most to be in today! GO VOLS!). There were lots of pumpkins in an area that I would guess to be about 5 acres. They dropped everyone off and we roamed around until we found a pumpkin to call our very own. Butch was trying to find the biggest pumpkin that was lightweight. That was a fun task. Joe was the human scale for this hunt!

Even Otter helped in the search!

Finally the pumpkins were decided on and we got on the hayride back to the farm. We all had a fun day and some of us were plumb tuckered out!
