Labyrinthe means maze

With Thursday and Friday off of school and the weather at a balmy 70 degrees (or 21 for you Celcius readers), we had to get out and have fall fest part deux.  We are located pretty close to one of the largest corn mazes in Minnesota, so we headed out to see if we could solve it.  And by we, I mean Abel and Jude because I am horrible at reading maps.  Like I can hardly get out of my neighborhood, let alone navigate through a corn maze.

Jude and I did learn that Abel has a strange talent for corn mazes -- he barely has to read the map and can get us there.  Let's just say that if I had to be lost in a field of corn that looked like the Minnesota Vikings logo, I'd want to take this guy with me. 

And it isn't JUST a corn maze.  There's also a petting zoo!  And I love me a good petting zoo.  This wasn't just your typical goats and sheep.  They had a lemur, an albino skunk, a really huge bullfrog (that Abel was repulsed by), some animals that looked like deer bunnies, baby potbelly pigs that everyone tried to convince me to buy, and a BABY KANGAROO.  You could pay an extra $5 to have your picture taken with a baby kangaroo. Basically, this set-up was made for suckers like me. And Jude obviously because he wasn't leaving that petting zoo without having his picture taken with the baby kangaroo.  Of course, we made Abel sit down with him too. 

Have you ever seen such adorable scarecrows?

Wristbands on and ready to enter the maze.

Although Abel looks skeptical, he knows the $5 was totally worth it.
