Straw Maze

For FHE a couple weeks ago we decided to go the a straw maze. We did a corn maze last year and it was really fun but this straw maze was closer to us so we decided to try it out. The maze was actually pretty hard and we ended up having to get help at one point. The kids favorite part though were some big tubes set up as slides on top of a bunch of hay bales, as well as an area they could jump off a ledge into a pull of hay. I was worried they would break some bones but they loved it.

Flying kites

We didn’t do anything too fancy for Labor Day, but we did go the park, have a picnic, and tried to fly kites. The kids have wanted to all summer and every time I remember, it ends up not being windy enough (which is pretty rare around here). It was pretty windy on Labor Day so we got the kites up for a bit, but as usual, the wind died down pretty quickly after we started.
