| === Social: Sunday October 7th ===

| Wander the corn maze at [http://www.northwoodsorchard.com/ Northwoods Orchard], just outside of Douglas. $5 for the adults and "older" kids for the larger corn maze, $3.50 for "younger" kids in the little corn maze (1 adult can follow the kid around for free), and coming back from the adult corn maze you can sometimes grab a short tractor ride for free ($1.50 for the full farm tour). You can also purchase apples, gourds, pumpkins, etc, if you needed some fall supplies, and there's a small animal farm to entertain the kids with too. Yes, bring your friends and family. The kids maze takes ~15 minutes, the adults maze ~1 hour.
