Shryock's Farm

We wanted to make sure that we stopped at Shryock's farm and corn maze on our way to Kansas City at least once this year. We lucked out to be there on a nice day this year. 

Rope swingin in the barn is always fun. 

And who wouldn't want to play in a giant box of corn. I heard another parent repeatedly telling his son not to eat it. He said it was just so good, though. 

It was a hot day (in October!) and everyone was sweaty. 

Kiersten specifically wore her most cowgirl/farmer outfit. She really wanted Ben to send a picture to Papa so he would see how cute her outfit was. 

This is the point I should have remembered to make everyone go to the bathroom before we entered the corn maze. 

But in we went, full bladders and all. 

We split up quite a bit, and found each other pretty easily. Ben got a handle on the map, and so did Kara, so we just made sure Evie, Kiersten, and I stayed with one of them at all times, and no one got lost. 

We only found 2 of 8 checkpoints to get our maps punched before everyone needed to find their way out and to a bathroom. They opted not to go back in afterward, since it was so hot out there. 

Back in the barn we played with the corn some more. 

The slide looks pretty fun, and adults are actually allowed, though I've yet to try it. 

We let the girls get gumballs from this huge Rube Goldberg machine. They tried to keep an eye on their gumball as it went all around the rafters and made it's way back down. Kiersten's rolled over the edge, and crashed to the ground, so she was given a new quarter to try again.
