Corn Maze..we did it!

Each year we go to Elwood orchard for their corn maze.  Last year we arrived for night time maze and couldn't make it out before the kids got too tired.  It was tough last year!  And the dark makes it even harder.  This year we started around six so that it was still light out, but would turn dark while we were in the maze.. worked out to be an EXCELLENT plan!

They were off!  The kids took turns leading the way.

The corn that makes up the maze is used to feed the animals after.  Farmers waste nothing!

Last year we used a system to mark the paths we'd tried.. Caden remembered and decided he'd be in charge of making the X's

Cora loved running through the maze... until she turned around and realized she was all by herself!



Head lamps and flash lights were out!  and we stuck close together.

Hooray!! We found our way out!  and it only took us about an hour.

You, my friend, are a blogging fiend! I am impressed! We are going to the corn maze this weekend I think. I'll have to get pointers! :)
