Green Acres

OK, I know it has been a while since I have blogged. Please forgive me!



On Saturday we (Brian, Landon and I and Maw Maw) went to a place in Cary called Green Acres. It is known for its corn maze. When you first went in to the gate, there was a huge pile of sand with sand toys and Landon was immediately drawn to it. That is all he wanted to do. We finally talked him into venturing away from there and seeing what else they had to do.

They had a fake cow that you could milk, well actually you were supposed to have a contest to see who could milk the cow the fastest but we didn't do it as a race, just let Landon "milk" the cow. He thought it was pretty neat.

There was also big rolls of hay that they had stacked up for the kids to climb on and a long tunnel running through it for the kids to crawl through. Landon though that was great being able to be up so high climbing!

They also had a rope maze for the little kids to wonder through as well as a maze made of hay blocks. Landon just like jumping on and off of the hay blocks instead of going through the maze.

For the corn maze, you give the guy at the white house your tickets and he gives you a flag to carry through the maze. He said if you get lost, raise your flag and the guy on the tower will help you. He also handed us a piece of paper with 10 blocks on it and said tere are 10 stations in the maze, when you get to each station, punch your sheet. We went in the maze, Landon carrying the flag, and we let Landon guide us through. Well somehow we went from station 1 to station 5 and then found 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Abviously we miss a turn somewhere to get to stations 2-4! We had fun doing it anyway!

We also did the hay ride around the farm and let Landon play in the sand some more. On the way out we got a pumpkin, which is what Landon really wanted!

I almost forgot to mention there was even a fire truck on display and the firemen were giving out fireman hats!
