This morning we woke up early, had breakfast and were dressed by 7:30 a.m. - which is nothing short of a miracle in our household. The reason - we were heading with our homeschool group up to a Corn Maze in southern Missouri. At first the weather was looking suspicious... but the sun ended up coming out for our trip up north. We got to shoot corn cobs out of "guns," ride a cow train, find our way through the maze, go on a hay ride, and have a fun time with our new homeschool friends.

Here is the boys' first hay ride. We rode around for about 20 minutes and they seemed to enjoy the scenery the whole way. I enjoyed talking with the other parents as well - so it was a win-win situation.
The final analysis, the Corn Maze and associated activities were a lot of fun. We'll be back next fall for an encore.
