4th Grade Fun Field Trip--Cajun Country Corn Maze--We Finally Did It!!!

After a long-awaited trip to the Cajun Country Corn Maze (due to a rain cancellation two weeks ago), the Fourth Graders were able to make the trip this morning.  Upon arrival, we all greeted one another with big hugs, smiles, and excitement for the day.  Each person was given a map that could only be deciphered by correctly answering questions at certain check points throughout the maze.  Each question was multiple choice and gave three to four options.  Depending on the answer you chose, you would turn right or left.  Questions tested a diverse range of knowledge; everything from, "What is the 14th word of Jingle Bells?," to, "What is teamwork?"  We all put our knowledge together, applied teamwork, and were able to navigate our way through the maze (we did have a few wrong turns, but were quickly back on the right path again--thanks to a few savvy 4th graders).  What fun we had together!!!

After we finished the maze,  everyone noticed the smell of kettle corn permeating the air.  It was definitely the perfect snack after a trip through the corn maze--and yes, it was delicious!  Next, it was off for a bumpy "Cow Train" ride.  The owners made a train out of metal barrels that were turned sideways and cut in half.  They were decorated to look like cows.  They were adorable!  I think my favorite part of the Cow Train was the sweet older gentleman driver and his outfit.  He was dressed from head to toe in a cow print shirt and overalls--including a tail!  There were also great handmade roller and tunnel slides,  fun and festive automated chicken shows,  and hand operated water pumps.  The finale of the trip was getting to shoot corn out of push button fired corn cannons!  What a fun day!!!
