Yesterday Lloyd and I and two of our daughters and their families went to a corn maze out in the farm country around Edmonton. It was a beautiful fall day - sunny and cool and bright - perfect for our outing.
It was more than just a maze - there was a haunted house, and conscession stands, pumpkin patches, scarecrow making areas, petting zoo, and much, much more. We took in as much as we could with 8 kids between the ages of 1 and 9 years old.
Here's an overview of some of the fun we had.

Harry Potter lightning bold painted on their foreheads. |
 |
| Quinn tried to pick up every pumpkin she saw and take a bit out of them. |
 |
| Aidan loved the scarecrow he made in the scarecrow barn |
 |
| Max, Charlie and Kenzie are busy stuffing their scarecrow's head |
 |
| We bought some delicious fudge at this candy shack. |
 |
| Pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors were all over the place. |
 |
| This beautiful owl watched over the pumpkin barn. |
 |
These live scarecrows wandered all over the grounds visiting with people and
having their pictures taken. |
 |
Six of our kids, with ice cream cones all over their faces
rode the wagon over to the corn maze. |
 |
| There was a parking lot full of hearses with various gruesome creatures in them. |

What a wonderful thing to do with the family!! What memories!
Great way to spend our first sunny day in a while. Looks like the kids had a wonderful time. Did they have the pumpkin shoot? (out of a cannon?) Not sure I like the addition of the hearsts! Scarecrow stuffing looked like fun!
Great pictures. Looks like a perfect autumn day and fun for the whole family. Love it.
Happy Thanksgiving my friend! What a super place to visit, especially for the little ones. My grandchildren would love it - such a good idea . Loved all the super photos. They do look as if they're having a great time! Not so sure about the parking lot full of hearses!!!

Looks like a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. A perfect autumn day. The children are adorable getting into the spirit of things. I loved seeing the live scarecrows in your photos. Happy Thanksgiving, Pat.
What a wonderful way to celebrate your Thanksgiving. I loved seeing all the pictures and your grandchildren. It looks like loads of fun for everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!
I spoke to Kenzie on the phone and she said it was AWESOME! Looks pretty cool. The corpses are disgusting and the walking scarecrows are creepy but I guess that's the idea! - Mary
It all looks fabulous!
What a lovely Fall day! I'm so thrilled for you and yours you were able to make such lovely memories..
Hugs~
