Lost in the Corn!

Fall is a great time of year for outdoor activities around Charlotte.  Another of my favorite outings in October is the Amazing Maize Corn Maze.  This is our third year going.  It's a mind game, and I love mind games!  Jonathan's brother, Daniel, from Michigan is here visiting so he came along and helped us get lost in the maze!


Our first mailbox!!  If you haven't ever done one of these mazes, I am sure you are confused right now.  They basically set you loose in a corn maze and want you to find your way out.  There are 12 mailboxes hidden inside the maze and each time you find one, you get a piece of the map of the corn maze.  So in essence, the more mailboxes you find, the easier it is to find your way out! 
 



And our final mailbox!!  We completed the map.  This is actually our very first year completing the map.  The previous years we found the exit before we completed the map, and since this activity is not as favorable for my husband as it is for me, he has always persuaded me to leave once we found the exit.  Unlucky for him, we never found the exit this year until we found our final piece of the puzzle that helped us get out!



   I have no idea exactly how long we were "lost".  Maybe three hours?  Ryan had fluctuated from riding in the stroller, having Grandma carry him, and walking around.  When it got cooler out, I finally started wearing him.  He fell asleep while riding on my back (hence why you can't see him in the group picture.. he was snoozing away!)

 
Since Katelynn didn't get to come on the pumpkin patch trip with us for Justin's school, she posed for me in front of the pumpkins at the corn maze!
 And guess who found a tractor to ride?  Of course!!
