HALLOWEEN festivities part 1: FARM MUSEUM!!

SO I bet you thought we moved past our blogging phase, or stopped having AWESOME ADVENTURES due to our 1 month lapse.  But this is not the case!  We have been sooo busy having awesome adventures and we're just so naturally inclined to laziness that we have not been documenting it all until now!  So expect to see a glut of catch up posts from us :D

We had both wholesome and unwholesome fun on Halloween.  First, we went to the Queens County Farm Museum!!  I think the last time I went was in Kindergarten for our class trip to teach us what farms and farm animals are supposedly like.  Because it is so relevant to NYC kids.  They had a pretty cute Halloween setup going on though, with a lot of kids dressed up in ridiculous costumes.

But LOOK it's DUCKS!





And uh oh lookit the sunflowers:



But look, here is the best part!  See?  MAIZE MAZE! (And TRACTOR)


So we all got tall flags to keep us from getting lost forever in there.  We got a paper to tape pieces of the map onto, and there were 9 pieces of the map scattered throughout the maze.  It was hard!




Parts of the maze were color-coded.  There was a random turkey running around inside.  I thought it might be cool if there was a minotaur, but I guess it's good that there wasn't.  But there was actual real live corn in the corn maze:


We figured out how to get out of the maze finally, but it took us a good 20 minutes.  The end of the maze was actually a bridge.  So here's the view of the maze & all the lost people inside from up top:



And here's some more animals for good measure:


 So yeah!  The cider was good, the caramel apple was awful and microwaving it sadly didn't help but the apple made some funny sounds :)  That was the wholesome portion of our Halloween festivities.  David will commence shortly on the less wholesome evening activities!
