Tyler was our faithful leader as we wound our way through the acres of corn at the Maize Maze. We had a ball! The maze is HUGE and it only has one way out. You go into it with a blank map and collect the 12 map pieces along the way...and there are plenty of dead ends to make it tough! Every group carries a flag with them. These flags serve a couple of purposes. Every now and then you are asked to raise your flag so maze operators can see how many groups are still out in the maze. If someone in your group were to get hurt, you can wave your flag and have someone meet you for assistance. My favorite flag use was to help celebrate birthdays. When someone finished the maze who was celebrating a birthday, everyone held their flags up high to symbolize candles. On three the birthday celebrator would blow out the "candles" and everyone would drop their flags back into the corn. The maze changes every year and we are already looking forward to next fall so we can visit again. It took us just under 2 hours to collect all 12 pieces and find our way out. What a great way to spend an afternoon :)
Earlier in the day Ethan came over to hang out with us. We helped him carve a pumpkin, had lunch and of course played guitar hero. Ethan's favorite part of the day was cleaning out the gooey inside of the pumpkin :)
