Corn mazes are a very fun way to pass time, and a lot of time passes while in them. A few weeks ago I was able to accompany my little sister, Brianna, and her friend, Alyssa, around the maze. When we first went in the two 9 year old girls decided to go into the difficult part of the maze. Our task was to find "checkpoints," and punch our cards to show that we found them. As we were making our way through the maze, the girls would each go one way when we came to a split in the trail. Several times I had to go and find one and then go find the other.
The first checkpoint we came to was at the very "top" of the maze, up near the bat (in the picture). Then trying to find more checkpoints we came upon the entrance. The girls decided they wanted to try the easy side now, because they were getting discouraged about not finding any checkpoints.
As we entered the easy side, I made sure to note the direction, and keep tabs on where we were. The next checkpoint we found was at the bottom right hand side of the maze. We looked at the little map at the checkpoint, and headed off to the next checkpoint. Unfortunately, we found the same checkpoint again. Finally, we headed off toward the exit, and after several more attempts, and wrong turns we made it out.
As we came out of the maze, both of the girls decided that they didn't want to go in another maze for a long time. An employee greeted us as we came out and said, that for having two little girls we did very well. We found 5 checkpoints, and were only in the maze for two hours. By the time we got out, all of us were tired and ready to go home. But we had a great time and a lot of fun. I can't wait for next year's corn maze.
