Outdoorsy Stuff Weekend

Luke and Rick O'Donnell went with us to the Kimball Farm Corn Maze in Haverhill, MA on Saturday. Last year we had a crew of over 20 people, and this year, only us. Funny how that happens, isn't it? Anyway, unlike last year, we actually made it through the maze this time.
Here are the munchkins (Luke, Sebastien and Genevieve) making funny poses in the pumpkins.
 Checking out the pigs in their mud pits. They made the entire farm smell.
 Resting before the maze.
 Walking towards the maze. Genevieve is definitely not a fast walker. Walking for her means, dancing, singing, stopping to pick up rocks, look at the sky, collect leaves, etc. If you notice up ahead, Dan has the kid backpack carrier and we used it in the maze.
 Which way?!
 On Sunday we went to a nearby park in Hudson, NH that we'd never been to before. I had heard good things about it. Low and behold, it was Benson Park, an old zoo/amuzement park that was open from early 1900s to 1980, then reopened 2 years ago as a park. It's creepy and really cool at the same time.
Here are the kids posing by one of the ponds. There used to be a ferris wheel somewhere near here.

 Playing in the gorilla enclosure that has been restored.
 Perfecting her "grumpy face". I guess she doesn't like being a gorilla...or being behind bars.
