The Maize

On Sunday afternoon the weather was unusually nice in southeast Michigan. Jacob, Nancy, Richie, Jean, Jenna, and I decided to take a trip to a local corn maze. This particular maze is one of the largest and most difficult in the state. In fact, they sell maps in sealed envelopes for $1.00 in case you get hopelessly lost among the corn stalks. If you make it to the exit without opening your envelope, they will refund your $1.00. We walked up & down row after row of corn. We passed the same groups of people over and over again. We probably traveled through the same intersections repeatedly. We contemplated peeking at our map, but resisted the urge. Fifty-five minutes after entering the maze, we triumphantly emerged with our envelopes unopened. We sure were proud to get our map money back.


Jacob sauntered down a path.


Jenna got up close and personal with some stalks.


Lost, but not too worried.
