Hubbs Homeschool Day

Since fall arrived, I have been looking for educational and fun field trips to do with the girls in NC near where we live now. About 15 minutes from us is Hubbs Corn Maze. Neither the girls or I have ever done a corn maze so I thought this would be neat to try. I was trying to schedule a weekend time but couldn't find something that worked in our schedule, but then noticed that they offer homeschool days at times. There was one coming up on November 1st, so I quickly signed us up.

On Wednesday, we headed to Hubbs. We arrived a little before lunch, which worked out wonderfully because it gave us time for a picnic lunch and then catch the 1 o'clock tractor ride and educational tour.

We rode the tractor past the corn maze, which got the girls excited about trying the corn maze.

We arrived at the educational area to learn all about the pumpkins.

Two fun facts about pumpkins that we learned: 

It takes 85 to 125 days to grow a pumpkin

and 

80 percent of pumpkins are grown for decorative purposes 

The girls got to touch a pumpkin that was so sweet that the sugar actually forms a crust on the outside. They also got to see and touch the inside of the pumpkin.

After we finished learning about pumpkins, we headed to try the corn maze.

We tried the corn maze called the game maze and the girls marked their cards at each stop we found.

Some of their other favorites were climbing and shark tooth hunting.

The other top two favorites were the big slides

Look at that happy face!

and the jump pad!!

This happy girl had a great time watching her sisters learn and play and enjoying the beautiful day outside with them! 

We definitely had a great time at Hubbs Homeschool Day and learned lots! We look forward  to visiting Hubbs in the other seasons too!
