Corn Maze Sunday

Today we went to Ricker Hill Orchard in Turner Maine to romp in a corn maze. On top of a corn maze there was apple picking and a bunch of kid activities that were perfect for Alden.

In the center of the corn maze we found a viewing platform. There may have been other areas to discover as well, but we didn't explore the maze extensively. Instead we spent a lot of time with the  horses, donkeys, and baby goats who were very friendly and sweet. There were also two snooty cows that would not let us pet them. There was a giant pile of hay bales with a long irrigation-tube-slide down one side and an irrigation tube tunnel through the middle. 

There was also old farm equipment to climb on, low-tech mini golf, frisbee golf, several inflatable jumpy castles, an obstacle course, picnic area, and a farm store that made fresh apple doughnuts from a (say) 50 year old doughnut machine.

It was our first whole family outing, although Elliott did not participate fully.
