One of my favorite family traditions that we have as a family is going to Youth Bible Corn Maze in Rosthern. Years ago we stumbled upon it somehow and just kept returning to it time and time again, until it became a fall tradition for our family, read about last years adventures here. Over the years have watched the business grow and include more and more things to do and explore. There are the two corn mazes, kids and adults, petting zoo, climbing wall, pumpkin patch picture area, train rides, etc. We've done it all over the many years we've gone but the last two years the exciting thongs for the girls have been conquering both mazes and finding all four secret stamps. This year we started in the adult maze because it took us forever last year, like a solid hour, but this year we found the three stamps within the first 15 minutes. We just got really lucky but then we ventured into the kids maze feeling pretty cocky and it took us at least a half-hour to find the one stamp. I guess you just never know when you'll get lucky and choose all the right turns and when you wont. Hahaha. Either way we got all four stamps and the kids were thrilled! What a wonderful way to spend a glorious Sunday afternoon as a family.

Now on to the outfit. If you stopped by last Friday you know that I have three ways to wear white jeans in the fall, see outfit #1 HERE. For the corn maze I used country style for inspiration. It was the white jeans that I started with when picking out this outfit, it was that I really wanted to wear my cowboy boots that don't get a lot of love in the city. That was my starting point and then my plaid shirt complements the colors on the cowboy boots so well, plus is PLAID (enough said). Because I layered a black tank underneath so I could knot tie my shirt without belly showing, I figured the white jeans were the perfect contrast and pop of color for this outfit. I absolutely love how easy, relaxed, natural and perfectly this outfit came together for this particular event. Honestly I really wanted to just go all causal and natural, minimal make-up (foundation, mascara and lip chap ) and blow-dried my hair, that's it. This look would work for any country outing, pumpkin patch, apple patch, zoo trip or a stroll through the woods.
I love that corn maze but never seem to be able to figure it out. Also- the boots are a perfect addition to your fun outfit. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe kids are relentless in there. Thankfully this year we were quick and it was warm, but some years I am sooooo cold that I fodon want to keep going. 😆
DeleteA great set for a shoot! I think the corn adds real drama. Love your jeans xx Maria
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is so much fun to take photos there and super quick so it doesn't get in the way of family fun.
DeleteCorn mazes scare me but looks like you had a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile. I am not a fan of things like fun houses or haunted houses, we all have our stuff. We did have fun. 😊
DeleteI love that this is a tradition for you! We haven't made it to our corn maze yet and hope to get to it before it's too late. Loving the look with the white jeans and your boots. Sierra Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love your Apple picking tradition but we live in a cooler climate so we don't have any orchards, but would really enjoy that if we have an opportunity.
DeleteWhat a fun tradition! The corn maze is the perfect setting for your pics! This is such a pretty fall outfit!

Thanks Jill. Its a fun, easy and true to life shoot and it's so quick that it doesn't take time away from the family fun.
DeleteI've never been to a corn maze, we don't have them here in Brisbane, but this sounds awesome! :) I like your casual outfit too, great layering with the shirt :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a nice weekend :) We went to our friends wedding yesterday so that was fun :)

Thank you. Do uyo have pumpkin patches or any sort of fall like traditions? It sounds like you have a wonderful weekend planned ahead.
DeleteYou made the best of what was there and there is nothing wrong with being young at heart. We do enjoy the challenge as a family and it keeps us busy and entertained for a few hours with all the extras. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThe four times we had gone to a corn maze, we never made it out! Lol The maze was fun for my son as he just wanted to run but for the rest of the group it was kind of frustrating! Cute outfit for the corn maze. You can never go wrong with plaid and white jeans just make this look fresh and cool. Happy weekend!

Oh my gosh, that transported me to a time when the girls were under 5 and we would just do the little maze until they were tuckered out or completely lost interest (which you can appreciate is short). The different stages and phases of life bring so many new experiences. 😊
DeleteSuch pretty photos and I love the color of your plaid top! We just went to a pumpkin patch and I almost got to go through the corn maze, but then we split up since my daughter wanted to bounce on the huge outdoor trampoline there. Lol! Good times in the Fall! :)
