Gull Farms Corn Maze!

Been a long time since I've updated my blog. School work's been getting tougher, with tests and papers to write. Weather's still a bit silly though, warm as summer lately, although the evenings are blessedly cool (about 18 deg C in the evenings).

Couple of the Ford school folks and I dropped by the Gull Farms Corn Maze on Saturday. (http://www.gullmeadowfarms.com/) A corn maze is just that: literally a maze carved into a corn field. It's also a farmer's market, where you can buy fresh apples, apple products, pumpkins and stuff! =)

It was a 1.5hr drive each way, and my first real experience on the highways in the US. Michigan highways are unbelievably boring, just miles and miles of straight, bumpy concrete slabs and nothing but farmland all around. Yawn... I can't imagine what it would be like to drive 4 hours to Mackinac Island

Bought a bag of apples, some apple cider, apple butter (sweet baby food haha) and a half dozen of ridiculously crispy deep fried cake doughnuts.

Some photos for your consumption =)
