corn maze

Who knew a corn maze could be so complicated?

So we went to a corn maze on Sunday with a few friends...I'm thinking, "Ok, a turn here and there, maybe a dead end or two - no big deal." Wow, I was not prepared for how complicated and amazing this corn maze turned out to be. It's a good thing we purchased the 'optional' map for $1. There were 3 adults and 5 kids and it took us at least an hour and a half to get from start to finish - and we cheated by using the map halfway through.

We started out by taking turns deciding which way to go at each crossroad. We let each person make a choice and did this for a while. When it started to get later and later, we decided to start using the map...and eventually at every crossroad one of the kids would say, "Which way now Kevin?"

We had a blast and really enjoyed ourselves. As you can see from the map of the maze below, the farmers that created it did an amazing job. We definitely had a great time and enjoyed working hard not to get lost in the field of corn. The kids loved it also - it was as if they had never seen corn before in their lives. They couldn't pass a cob on the ground without stopping, picking it up, and yelling "Corn!" Guess it's more fun when it doesn't come from Kroger...

The 'enter' and 'exit' are on the far right on the map...just imagine how small we would be standing at those points and you start to get an idea of how big this really was...
