Went to the Temple Hall Farm for their maze (which they cleverly spell MAiZE), and Festival of Fun yesterday, and it was, in fact, fun. We did the maze (if you see the photo on their website, we did the birthday cake section. The part with the words is apparently the night-time maze, although the thought of wandering through a cornfield in the dead of the night, in the middle of nowhere is too much to consider). I don't have any in-maze photos, although we were certainly in long enough to take several. The Widge was a trooper and walked most of it, and even lead the way for a while, although his success rate at picking paths was fairly low.
Instead of maze photos, please enjoy this photo of the Widge with some pigs:
They also, as the Widge explained to Uncle Stan today, had goats, cows, turkeys, chickens, horses, and ponies. We especially like the ponies because they're small and fuzzy. We don't quite like them enough to take a free pony ride, though. We did ride the cow train, and there would have been photos, but apparently Dzia was unsuccessful in that attempt, because there are no cow train photos on my memory card. I have a hay ride photo:
yes, the Widge looks bewildered in basically all the photos. It was an exciting day, what with the pigs (who also ran in pig races, which is our favorite type of race. Its clearly far superior to NASCAR in every way), the hay fort:
which you could also go through:
the pumpkin picking (which lead to pumpkin washing today:)
the corn cannon (note to da Boy: can we rig up a pine cone cannon in the yard?), the maze and cow train (maybe its better I don't have photos. A non-professional-photographer-and-therefore-technically-not-qualified-to-comment friend pointed out the horrific blurriness of my photos recently.) and, best of all, the corn box!
yup, its a box filled with corn.
it totally merits three photos.
Also, for general info purposes, check out the Backyardigans. Even if you don't have kids, you'll enjoy the music and quirky plot lines (I'm thinking of you specifically, Stan, and also Matt). Beware, they are Canadian, like Max and Ruby, and are clearly part of a conspiracy for our entire entertainment culture to be fully controlled by Canada (stay tunes, this may eventually develop into a full-fledged conspiracy theory.) Anyway, you can even see them on you tube, if, for some reason, you don't want to be bothered actually watching Nickelodeon. I much prefer them to Yo Gabba Gabba, which I unfortunately saw about 5 minutes of today.

I dont know, there is a clear line at which I start to enjoy children's programing, and on PBS, it clearly falls between Clifford and Arthur. Also corn sandbox, looks so fun!
hooray! looks to be much fun.
