While the correct course through the corn was probably as clear as day for the aliens who took this picture of UConn Women's Coach Geno Auriemma, it was not so clear to our crowd of little navigators.
What started out as good fun soon became a bit disturbing. And not for us alone. It was quite something to pass and pass again people who started when we did and note the deepening frownies, the darkening brows, the hurried pace as panic set in. The corn seemed to taunt us. One of the Lyman's employees on one of the bridges did too; he told us the food drops were every Tuesday, not to worry....
The sky grew dark.
And then the way somehow became clear (we followed the voices), and out we came, back again among the living in the free world. We had a great time.

It sounds like a blast. I've only ever been through a small corn maze. (a maize maze?) but I'd love to try something like this.. with company of course.
ReplyDeleteglad your adventure had a happy ending. just like life!
ReplyDeleteI love how you narrated the corn maze adventure. Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteMazes are scary fun, aren't they? You want to get lost, but not too much...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Glad you are once again among the living.
ReplyDeleteThis is one reason why I don't like the idea of going into one of these large mazes. I panic when I feel lost. I have been lost in a tiny little marsh before. I won't forget that feeling. Really creaps me out just thinking about it. I think your kids are brave adventurers.
ReplyDeleteNever been on a corn maze. Must be a lot of fun as long as we go early in the day.
ReplyDeleteA corn maze sounds fascinating and so easy to get lost in. Glad you found your way out! What fun! PS: I love Obama, too! Most Canadians do. :)
ReplyDeleteA scary story Sandy! A maze that isn't clearly marked! :)
ReplyDeleteaka Penelope, I love Obama too! :)

I've never been in one before but always wanted to try. This is the one reason I haven't. Fear of getting lost!

That looks like a very complex maze. I'm glad you got through it and got back to civilization.
ReplyDeleteThe corn maze look very tall.. it seems to me.. Like a deep forest.. I guess.. Lovely photos and story! :)

14 acre corn maze...sounds like fun!
ReplyDeletea great idéa I think, but maybe the maze was to difficult.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been interesting and fun experience.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
i enjoy running around farms and barns but never tried among corns.
ReplyDeletegreat place to relax.
Glad you had a great time, that is what mazes are all about, confusion and feeling disorientated and trapped until you think you can take no more and then the total release as you surface into the world once more. A corn maze must be scarier because of the rustling of the dry leaves.
ReplyDeleteSurely an interesting and nice experience. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun and scary, like a Haunted House.
ReplyDeleteMike and Molly have a similar corn maze story to tell from a few years ago- they are still talking about it. Glad yours turned out ok!

ReplyDeleteBe afraid. Be very afraid.

Like many others, I would be afraid of getting lost! One day, if I am near one I think I must give it a try!
ReplyDeletethat's cool! must be hard to exit!
ReplyDeleteOh, fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
