A trip to the corn maze

This past weekend we went to this great little corn maze several miles past our house. We went with a group of people from our church and had such a great time. The corn maze itself was really cool. This was the first one I had ever seen and didn't know too much about it. It took us about 15 to 20 minutes to make our way through the maze itself. My brother, however, was stuck in it for an hour! I guess he didn't want to cheat, because all you have to do is cut through the corn rows and try another path. Perhaps he just wanted to have the full experience. Anyway, we had some really fun people on this trip and we laughed all day long. I have some funny little video clips and pictures that I hope you enjoy. If you have never been to a corn maze, it is a blast! Well, on to the videos and pictures!



Here are a series of short clips. This first video was taken when we first arrived at the maze. The guys were goofing around and making everyone laugh:




When we finished the corn maze, we realized there were lots of other activities. There was a small area where there were cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, goats, and other farm animals. Here is a video clip of the Hubby and Jesse watching as Byron makes animal sounds:





Right past the animals was an old outhouse. (Hopefully an out-of-commission outhouse...). The next video is of Byron playing around with it:





Around the corner from the outhouse, there was a huge tower made of hay. You know those big round roll-type things of hay you see when you go on road trips? Yeah, those things. I don't know they're called. But they were stacked pretty high, so everyone climbed on top for a photo-op. Here is a five second video of Byron as he jumps off. You can hear his wife laughing at him as he falls. I love how this video ends with him in mid-air; too funny!




Here are some pictures from our day:


Group shot, as we embark on our journey...

Do you remember Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers? I'm just saying...

There was a cotton field next to the corn; Here Jesse poses with his cotton moustache. What is this fascination these guys have with moustaches?

Here are some chickens. I think? Are they chickens or roosters? I don't know anything about farm animals! I could probably tell if they were in plastic wrap in the freezer section, though.

A picture of some turkeys. There were lots of turkeys there that day. Not pictured: Byron, Jesse and the Hubby.

Now I realize that Byron is in all of the above videos. But for good reason. He's hilarious is why! I mean this is the guy that when asked the name of the machinery that harvests corn says, "Oh yeah, that's called a concubine, right? Not a concubine? It's a columbine! Right?"

I'm sure your wonderful, amazing, perfect brother had a perfectly good reason for staying in the maze for so long. Maybe the people he was with wouldn't listen to him as he was trying to direct them out of the maze. Whatever the reason, I'm sure he could have been the first one out of the maze if he had wanted to be. :)

Yes, I am sure my brother had a reason of his own for being in the maze all day, but he should be used to no one listening to him! I don't think I am buying that as an excuse. Please tell my brother he will have to come up with something better than that!

WOW I did not know I did the turkey that well. But I did notice that Jesse and Brandon gave me nothing on the animal calls. In fact Brandon looked very uncomfortable and got out of the scene very quickly when it looked like he would be called upon to make an animal sound. Come on guys hook a brother up! PS Brandon will find something wrong with the grammar in this post.

Ironic as it is, we were reading your comment and when we got to the end the Hubby started laughing. "What is it?" I asked. He said, "I was checking the spelling the whole time I was reading that!" So, thanks for the comment and for providing such interesting content to the videos for this blog.
