Corn Maze

Getting lost with your family amongst a field of produce is one of my new favorite pastimes. I've only done one corn maze before, and Jesse and I just haven't found the time to go to one for a few years, but we are glad we did this year. We, along with Melia, Spencer, Erica, Nate, and Madison, went up to Tumwater to Rutledge Farms and mazed it up. To make it even, each person got two turns getting us to a checkpoint, some were better than others, but to make it interesting we let Peyton run free at the beginning to get us to our "starting" checkpoint. Next year I think we will go an hour earlier than everyone else so he can just run around without us feeling like we are holding people up because boy howdy did he love it! It was interesting that some of us used the map, and some, like Spencer, let their inner compass guide them. There were a few spills (poor Melia) and those dang teenage kids running around (I sound like such an old lady!) but otherwise it went very smoothly. Because of the time of night we went we had to pay the higher price to get into the haunted maze even if we didn't want to go it. Oh my gosh Melia was so worried we were going to go. Luckily it was so close to Halloween that the line was super, super long and we did not want to wait. We were there when it was dark, though, so we got to use our flashlights, that made it kind of spooky. By the end of the night we had found all the checkpoints so we turned in our punch tickets, maybe we'll some prizes!

Spooky!
