Maisdoolhof (Corn Maze) and Pumpkin Carving

The corn is almost ready to be harvested...we really live in corn and cow land here in Noord-Brabant.  If you are driving in your car, you are either seeing cornfields or cows..I love it.  As October lands, the corn is tall and green, but the tops are goldeny brown.  It is just too beautiful.  I know I am a bit of an oddbod that these kind of things please me so. 

I found a Corn Maze for the kids to visit in Dongen and luckily for us, they also had pumpkin carving as an activity.  So here are some pictures of the Maze...Maize...





The corn plants have "feet" at the bottom ..otherwise they would surely fall over.  Here are some pictures of the pumpkin carving.


 

 
and the end result.  We are all fired up to carve some more... so watch this space.  The kids are thrilled with their pumpkins and Cricket has taken to carrying his around wherever he goes...It is just always there under his arm..hopefully it will not need to go to bed with him at any point..yuk.
