Maize Adventure

Tonight we decided we would try something new and different. We took 2 friends with us and went down the road to a cornfield that they had made a maze out of. Now I have actually been to a maize maze 1 time before, but it was somewhere else several years ago. I remember it being really cool though. We had gotten so lost in the corn and couldn't see anything but the path we were on and corn all around us. So I anticipated that this maize adventure would be very similar. Unfortunately it was not because we have had a terrible drought here this year and most of the corn died while the rest of it didn't grow very tall. So what they did instead is made it a scavenger hunt for the pirate's treasure. I'm sure this would have been a blast for a little kid, but we made it fun for us too. We all got litte punch cards, and we had to go all around the corn maze to find these little boxes in the ground with X's marked on them. Once we got all 6 we had to find our way back out and then we got a prize! We finished the hunt in record time (less than 1/2 an hour) and did have a good time.

Here are the guys having fun in the maize maze. We will have to try it again next year and hope for a better corn crop so that it will be a real maze next time.
