Jacob's Corn Maze

We had the brilliant idea of going out to the corn maze Friday night despite the blistering cold. A few families from skating went to dinner and headed out there. I guess the last time I did the maze was when it was just that: a maze (singular). This year, they have a barn set up that you MUST walk through in order to purchase tickets to the mazes (plural). So it's getting colder by the minute and we are now in a barn surrounded by candy, hot chocolate, donuts, cider and the list goes on. Of course the kids are "starving" (didn't we JUST have dinner?) so Dr. Merrithew buys donuts for all the kids. Then comes the big decision: which maze do we do? There are now THREE! Not to mention, the one is so big that we would need the Coast Guard to find any of my little ones if they were to get lost. So we choose the smaller two. Yes TWO. Before the tickets were purchased, the girls were off on a mission and the boys wait for an adult. This entire time it's flashing through my mind that it's going to get dark soon and my babies are let loose in a field of corn. A HUGE field.

Long story short, they all came back in one piece. We enjoyed the fire and caramel apples and headed home. Oh, but we mustn't forget to pick out our pumpkins on the way out...:)
