Saturday our family was going to the corn maze if it killed me! I finally wrangled everyone in to the car about 1:45 pm. The corn maze's last day of operation was on Halloween and after we arrived we saw why. It was a bit beaten down and you could see through the rows of corn to the paths because it was so dried out. But we went anyway. After a lot of grumbling and paying the $36 admission, we headed in. The fastest time to complete was 29 minutes and the longest was several hours and a required a rescue by the establishment. We were aiming for a finish in under an hour, as some of us had to get back to work on college essays and UNC was playing at 3:30. We decided to stick together instead of breaking up into teams. There were some fighting among the girls, a corn fight with husks and even whole stalks, a look out bridge (where we did not take any photos) and after 30 minutes, a lot more grumbling! We finally escaped after 39 minutes. Had to use M. on her daddy's shoulders as a look out to chart our path. Whew! Then we headed to a silo filled with corn kernels and took a lot of photos!! So much family fun together! Hopefully I got one for the Christmas card!
