The Maze Is Cut!!!!

Praise the Lord the Corn Maze is cut!!!!  :D

It took two days and a couple break downs but it is finally done!

The way we cut the maze, for those of you who are interested is....

Caleb downloads the picture of the maze we have drawn on graph paper to our Farm Works GPS.

Then he, connected to the battery in our little John Deer lawn mower, slowly walks ahead and shows where the lines, curves, etc... need to go.

Mrs. Mc., who drove the little lawn mower this year, follows close behind and makes a path for me, who is on the big John Deer tractor with a tiller behind, tills the paths.

Below is a pic. of us doing that from the Concession Cabin roof.

We had fun.... most of the time.  It did get a little stressful at times.

Here is a pic. of part of the maze.  Any guesses of what it is?

Now I'm sure you all are wanting to know what the picture is this year aren't you?!

Well.... you all will just have to be patient til we get the aerial photo!  ;)

(Actually, we are anxious to know what we made too!)  :D

Thank you all for you're prayers!



The End Of The Corn Maze!

Well today the farmer is cutting down the maze.  >sigh<  It was a fun first year.  A little stressful at times but fun.  We had a TON of good fun fellowship during the season.  I'm late in getting these pics. up...

A weekend ago we had two very good friends up from MO, where we used to live.  The Bommels came and helped us all week and the Schultes came for a way too short visit on Sun.   Unfortunately I only got pics. of the Bommels, I left my camera at the house when the Schultes where there.  :( 

Waiting for costumers at the concession cabin...

Here's Rebekah B. and Abby C.

Hi Rebekah!  Cutie!

Getting bored Abby?  ;D

The boys hanging out.

Hey guys!  Is the sun a little bright?

Here's Lydia B.

"Please let me in!  I'll work for my bread!"

We had such a fun time having them here.  The girls where such a joy to have around.

The boys played a lot of air soft while they were here and I even joined in on Sat.!  My first time playing and I really liked it!

James and Benny B.

Thanks to ALL of you who helped with the maze this year physically and those of you who kept us in your prayers as well!  We couldn't have done it without you! 

Can't wait til next year!

God bless!



More Great Pumpkin Patch Pics...

They had an old school building that they moved there and so Mom and the boys played school.  :)

They had a lot of different mazes there and they were all fun to try.

Here is the straw maze...

Here is a grass maze that was kinda cool...

Adric had a blast going through them all.

("What is this creature?!")

This is the broom corn maze...

And the sunflower maze...

Their landscaping was BEAUTIFUL!

Twas fun!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Last week we surprised Mom and took her to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur!

We all had been wanting to go there for a while.  So she was really excited and we all had a blast spending time as a family.

they do a FANTASTIC job at landscaping and decorating the the unique ideas they use to display their hundreds of pumpkins and gourds is sooooo neat!  Well, you'll ee what I mean...



To be continued...

Answer To Prayer

Thank you all for your paryers!!! We had over 100 at the maze on Sat.!!! Praise the Lord! Isn't it so neat to have an avenue to help or encourage someone far away when we are knealing on our own home! What an awsome thing it is to have a God who is always there, always listening, and always wanting to answer our prayers.

Hope you all have a blessed Sun.!

New Poll

Hey all! Wow is it feeling like Fall quick! Some of the farmers around here are staring to combine already!!! Thanks for the apple ideas so far! They sound GREAT! We'd love to hear more if anyone hasn't shared yet! Thanks for all the votes on the last poll! Cooler weather rules out!

There's a new poll to the right... What is your favorite Fall leaf color?...

We have a prayer request as well... Would you all be praying that the Lord will bring more people to the Corn Maze? We REALLY could do with some more customers.

Hope you all have a blessed Labor Day weekend! God's blessings!
