Perfect Autumn Adventures with Ella

Friday, October 13th to Sunday, October 15th

A perfect autumn adventure weekend with Ella


Saturday, October 14th:


Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee was far more than just a corn maze ... there was "pumpkin chunkin'," a petting zoo, a bird experience and more than we had time for! Here are some highlights of our fun adventures for the weekend!

Laura shooting off a pumpkin at the targets!
Theme for the corn maze: "Down Under" (Australia)


Entrance to the maze!
Colorful birds in an enclosed room to feed from a popsicle stick.

Laura was much braver than I.

Petting zoo with tiny kangaroos!
After conquering the corn maze (withOUT cheating), we headed to the largest candy store in Minnesota!

We left with some delicious candies.
Next up, choosing a pumpkin to carve:


We relaxed with the pups, watched movies, carved pumpkins and baked pumpkin seeds to put an end to the great weekend.
