Late summer in Walla Walla. The wheat has been picked, the apples are ripe, and the corn maze is open!
Comparing childhood animals. Here we have Teddy and Red Monkey.
Maple Counter Cafe. Steven’s blueberry cobbler French toast. (My dad took this photo.)
Driving to Waitsburg.
Elderberries at the Lewis and Clark Trail State Park. (My dad took this photo.)
The path around the park along the river.
Fungus! (My dad took this photo.)
On to the corn maze.
These are the corn cannons.
This is the glass target. If you break it, you win $20. (My dad took this photo.)
This is the ammo. (My dad took this photo.)
The crisscrossing corn maze paths and tunnel, from the corn maze bridge. (My dad took this photo.)
We wandered in the corn maze for 54 minutes. Steven led us to the finish using science and technology. (My dad took this photo.)
The main event–apple picking in Milton-Freewater. (I failed to get any photos of the orchard, which is the prettiest part.) We picked 150 pounds of apples and then wandered across the street to the neighbor’s house to pick plums.
Steven at the corn cannon, I hit the target on a bounce (but fail to break it) (Steven took the video), and the whole corn cannon process: load the cloth, load the corn, ram the corn/cloth down the barrel, turn on the power, aim, shoot!
