This past Saturday, immediately after Amanda and Aidan's soccer games at church, our clan met with the family of one of Alex's close friends and headed out to the Cherry Crest Adventure Farm near Lancaster, PA.
Cherry Crest is a vast wonderland of farm-themed activities: A petting zoo, pedal tractors, the 'hay chute' slide, and much, much more. We spent several hours petting the sheep, playing volley ball with a giant inflatable corn ball, and coloring hobos with dry erase markers (?).
All of this was but a prelude to the main attraction: The Amazing Maize Maze - a 5 acre corn maze at the center of the farm. The maze is incredibly elaborate and original each year. This year's theme: "Once Upon A Time...A Corny Tale". To try and complete the maze and finish the quests hidden within can take up to 2 hours.
When all was said and done, we had a great day with some great friends and look forward to tackling next year's maze.
