Texas Maize Maze

The kids didn't have school last Monday so we went on a little outing to the Sweet Berry Farms. In the fall they sell pumpkins. There are also hayrides, pumpkin painting, horses, and this really cool Maze. It is planted in the shape of the state of Texas and grown out of maize (corn). While in the maze, the goal is to find 12 stations and get your card punched. Then the card gets you a soda (not that terrific a prize, but motivating for kids all the same.) Anyway, I thought the maze would be really easy. Not! It took us almost 2 hours to find all the spots to punch our cards. The older three had a lot of fun. Hazel was a little scared. I thought it was pretty cool.




Then we went on a hayride.
Run towards the light children!!!
Hazel came home with her very own pumpkin!

  1. There's a radio station here that lets callers just call in and talk about whatever they want for a few minutes. One morning they were on the topic of corn mazes and a caller called in with this story:

    It was homecoming. He was all dressed up in his tuxedo and had picked up his date. They went out and had a spicy sausage dish for dinner. After dinner, they went to a corn maze.

    The guy had forgotten all about his irritable bowel syndrome.

    He remembered about half-way into the maze.

  2. Hazel is so cute. I want to go through a maze once in my life. They became popular after all of you were grown.
