This week, my little boy and I returned to March Farm to enjoy their Sunflower Maze. Sunflowers happen to be one of my favorite flowers--I think because they remind me of the Chuckle Patch from the early 70's and 80's children's TV show called The Magic Garden. A few years ago, I attempted a "Chuckle Patch" myself and had quite a bit of success until the sunflower beetles started snacking on their leaves and many varieties of birds started eating their centers...
This weekend, my mother, Little Lewie, and I had a great time exploring this miniature maze. It wasn't intimidating because my mother and I could see over the flowers. However, this was a different story for my little guy who walked amidst a sea of sunflowers that easily towered over him. Once I let him loose, I had a hard time keeping track of his whereabouts as he ran deeper and deeper into the maze. (I could barely make out his little blonde head.) I couldn't stop laughing as the only way I could chase him and find him was by following his little squeals.
All in all, the Sunflower Maze was a fun time. There were lots of bees everywhere, but they seemed to mind their own business as long as we minded ours. After going through the maze twice, I think we've now graduated and will be ready for our next adventure...the corn maze that opens in the next few weeks!

How fun! I love sunflowers too, they are so cheerful and happy, just like your little man is running through them! I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe maze is so cute! I love how big sunflowers are, and that after they've gone to seed, are like a giant birdfeeder. The picture of Lewie running through the flowers is a framer. I really like the new look of the blog - I grabbed your button!
