Corn Maze

There is a local farm that does a corn maze every year. This is the first time that we've managed to get to do it before they closed it and mow it down. What a great day. A little on the cool side, but that was good because we started to warm up once we got going.
The maze is so large that even though there were a lot of people there, you did not feel crowded. There is a map that leads you to hidden clues in the maze. Can't say that the map was all that helpful, but we didn't use it all the time. You can go fast or slow. There is no time limit.
We went with our friend, Jason. He's one of our buddies from Tae Kwon Do who is usually up for a last minute adventure. Each of us took turns leading the group. I think the best technique is just to run around like a crazy person. You are assigned a number and a flag so that they can keep track of who is in the maze. They also built an observation post so that you can stand up there and look out over the maze. Such a perfect New England fall day.
Alana is already making plans to go again next year. The theme of the maze changes every year.

Yikes! I get a little claustrophobic just thinking about being in a maze! But I guess you could trample the corn and get out huh? haha Glad you had a great day!

Fun!!! Love that picture of you both. I bet you guys did better than we did at ours. Then again, you didn't have 2 little boys to 'christen' some of the corn stalks part way through.
