Corn Maze...or BUST!

I was so excited to finally take Braden to the corn maze and pumpkin patch but it ended up being SUCH a bust. Hence the "bust" in the title! So this location is an hour away from us, it opens at 10 only on Friday & Saturday so we chose Friday to go because it's a weekday, less busy...beat the weekend crowd - right? Well, firstly we get there and with only 1 customer ahead of us and 2 employees to serve us...we still had to wait a few minutes to pay our admission which is rather silly. Then after some wandering around, Laura finally asks "so.....where is the pumpkin patch?" The reply...get this...

"We only bring the pumpkins out on the weekend."
Seriously? SERIOUSLY!? I have been admiring fellow bloggers' posts and pictures of their pumpkin patch experience and ours is closed? Only open for the weekend?! Sorry Calgary Corn Maze, you just lost a customer. What a joke! And even if we did go on the weekend...they say they bring them out in late afternoon because it's "too cold". Next year I'll just take Braden to the Edmonton one, like his Auntie Jess wanted to take him to in the first place! I'll listen to you, next year Jess! I didn't even really get very many great pictures. We had the boys dressed up so cute, so Laura & I decided we're making our OWN pumpkin patch this year and next and we'll just do a photo shoot at home!

So hopefully I'll have better luck with our OWN pumpkin patch photo shoot! Hope to have them done by the end of the week!
