Zoo pictures

Jimmy, Madelyn, Mary Kaitlyn, and I went to the zoo this weekend to see the new exhibit. It is amazing! The pictures that I have seen of this exhibit do not do it justice.

The Grizzly Bears

The Polar Bear was right up to the glass.

One of the panda bears was trying to take a nap.

We got a special treat that afternoon. Debbie and Haley had come up our way to do some shopping. We had a nice visit.

Corn Maze

The girls and I got to go to a corn maze. Boy was it fun. It took us 50 minutes to get through the maze. We took several wrong turns and ended up at dead ends. We got to shoot corn with a corn cannon. The girls also got to jump on a Jumping Pillow. We had never seen one of these before. They played on it for an hour. We ended our adventure with some good kettle corn.

Start of the maze. At first the girls were worried about what would happen if we got lost. I eased their minds by telling them that I would call someone on my cell phone.

We finally made it to the half-way point. At this point, you can exit the maze. We decided to go on and find the end.

Madelyn tries hard to hit one of the signs that are 100 yards away so she could win a prize.

None of us were able to do this, but we came close.

The Jumping Pillow was lots of fun.
