Maple Lane Farm

This morning Carter, Brian, and I went to the corn maze and pumpkin patch at Maple Lane Farms in Greenback, TN. We decided to go early before it got crowded and got there right after it opened.

Here's Carter as a farmer ...



Carter and me waiting for someone to show up and sell us tickets to the corn maze. We decided it would be easiest to carry him using the Baby Bjorn. We haven't used it about 4 months but it worked out well.


A combine harvester ...



We were the first ones through the corn maze for the day. We never saw anyone else the entire time we were in there.


Views from one of the bridges in the maze ...



The corn was 10-15 feet high this year. We went to another corn maze a couple of years ago during the drought here and you could see over most of the corn in the maze. This was a lot more fun!


In the maze ...


Finding one of the 10 posts in the maze and reading the next clue to figure out which way to go ...


Brian and Carter ...



I took lots of pictures of Carter with the pumpkins that had already been picked ...









We took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkins that are still on the vines.


Carter and me with the pumpkin we picked out ...


Riding back from the pumpkin patch ...




In the afternoon we decorated our pumpkin with a "Mr. Potato Head" kit ...


We had a lot of fun at the corn maze and pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day and we beat the crowds by getting there early.

My mom got here this afternoon for her week-long visit. She stayed home with Carter after he went to bed and Brian and I got to go out to watch the UT game and have some drinks. This was the first time we've been out like this since Carter was born. It was really nice!
