Cease Farms 2012

We went to Cease Farms again this year. We had so much fun at our inaugural visit last year, we wanted to go back now that Katie was older. The farm's main attraction is actually an enormous corn maze. We didn't do the maze because we spent hours (literally) on everything else.

The highlight (for kids and grown ups alike) is the big tube slide! Katie was super apprehensive about it last year but this year it took very little coaxing to get her to go by herself.

                 

 There's a couple of large pieces of the tubing that is just on the ground. I'm not 100% sure what it's for, but we've used it to roll people around. No one has yelled at us, so this is what I'm going with. Katie and I rolled Doug all over the ground until we were both exhausted and he was about to puke!

We did a few other things while we were at Cease Farms - a small tire maze, some tricycle tractors, and a blow up horse rodeo. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Until we got to the duck race. Oh. My. Word.  I saw a side of Katie that I've seen glimpses of during soccer or "friendly" games of chase. She is crazy competitive. She absolutely lost it when Caleb's duck (or the strangers racing their duck next to us) got even remotely close to hers. And I can't even begin to describe the meltdown that occurred when Caleb's duck won one of the races. If they were older, it could've been the end of their friendship.

Despite the ending of the day, we had a great time! It was nice to be outside in the fall weather enjoying friends and family!
