Corn Maze 2008

Last weekend we went out on annual trip to Kinfolk and the Corn Maze. We didn't get to go last year, as they did not make a corn maze (the farmer's wife was battling cancer). So we were very excited to go this year! We always go with a group of adults, and we seem to have more fun than any of the high school kids there. We also got to go through the haunted maze section, which is the most fun part. Kinfolk's is a little restaurant in Attica, which is a town that basically consists of 20 houses and Kinfolk's. They have goooooooood braised beef, and I always enjoy the catfish. The restaurant is nicely decorated with antiques and class pictures from Attica High School in the 1930's. There used to be a fountain in one of the dining rooms, but they have apparently removed that some time in the last 2 years. We also have an ongoing joke about the supposed "2 way mirror" between the men's and the ladies' restrooms.

Above: Here we are waiting to go into the haunted maze. We have record high's last weekend, so even though it was at night on November 1 in Iowa, it was a balmy 65 degrees at the corn maze.

Below: Lorraine had taken a funny picture of Sara, and was showing it to Sara and Chris. Scott caught them in the "reveal" moment, and I think that Sara's facial expression is priceless!

Melanie decided she was too scared to go through the haunted maze section, so Scott and I waited it out with her and caught up with everyone at the beginning of the regular maze. In this picture we have scary eyes...maybe we should have gone into the haunted maze and scared the workers!


Lorraine and I take a self-portrait.


When Scott tried to take a funny picture with the cow, Melanie was very embarrassed. But when I laid down to drink milk, she didn't say a thing. Guess that means I'm COOL.

We all took a turn on the slide. It isn't a regular slide--it is a bunch of pvc pipes on rollers, so it's a bit of a butt massage going down.


Scott, Melanie, and Jacob decided to do a train. You get some good speed, so this was a little difficult on the dismount.

Haha! I like how you told our story! I thought bout the "2-way mirror" when I went to the restroom! I am glad you recognize that y'all have scary eyes in that one pic.

I think it is hilarious that we went in circles for so long thinking we weren't finding the next part of the maze; when in reality, that was all there was by that time!

LOL - good times, good times! :-D
