The Corn Maize

Skye, Jaxon and I headed to Hondo last weekend to have a little fun in the South Texas Corn Maize. We went with our friends and neighbors Robert, Hilda and their kids. The maze is run by a family on their working cattle ranch. It has been in operation for 8 years. Pretty neat place. The maze took us around and hour and a half to get through. We went in right before dusk. They gave us quiz sheets that, if the question is answered correctly, gave you proper directions through the maze. So Robert thought it was a fine idea to have the kids just go. We would find our way through eventually. I didn't see much wrong with it. Silly me! Dark soon fell, and the kids were GONE. They managed to find their way to on of the bridges over looking the maze, waving and hollering to us pitiful adults. We did join up again. It was really a lot of fun.
The kids played on a hay pile and we saw a bunch of frolicsome goats. They played with some water pumps that are used for rubber duck races and finished off the night with a hay ride. It was pretty fun!
