Corn Maize

Our local homeschool group took a field trip to the South Texas "Maize".  It's a 7 acre corn field with a maze built in throughout.  

They do split the maze into 2 halves.  The Test Pilot, of course, had to do the longer portion first thing.  That boy loves a challenge!

While in the maze, you have to look for numbered posts that give you directions so you can escape the maze. It took us 35 minutes for the longer portion.  And it was very muddy.  The Test Pilot had a great time.

Wingman loved the corn popper.  A big air bag that you could jump on.  They had fun doing that with their friends.

We took a hayride around the owner's farm property.  We learned about cotton picking, pumpkin picking, and hogs.

What's life without a barrel train driven by a tractor.  The boys did this twice.  Mommy gracefully bowed out of this ride.  I don't think I would have fit.

We finished off the day with some great kettle corn for the long drive back home.  They had fun and want to come back.  Mommy is going to need a few days to recuperate from that field trip.

PS-  I got sunburned in October.  Agh!
