'Corn' Maze Fun ♥ Family bonding in the Sun ♥
Last weekend we went to one of our beloved annual activities: the 'Corn' Maze.
You may wonder why I type the word 'corn' in quotation marks...
This, my friends, is NOT corn. It is sorghum. This is a crop grown and used as a grain, livestock feed, and to make a type of sweetener.
Why do they call it corn? I guess 'Corn Maze' sounds more fun than a 'Sorghum Maze'...
Regardless of the type of plant, it DOES grow tall enough to make a decent maze. We had a great time. They had a 'Barnyard Bingo' game to play, where you hunt for signs with fun facts and cross off bingo numbers. We won a bottle of water with this endeavor, haha!
It actually was a very warm day, and the water was appreciated. It was very sunny, and I have what my husband likes to call a 'marshmallow complexion', so naturally, I got nice and burnt.
I didn't mind too much though. We had a lot of fun, and got a load of excercise!
By the time we were done, we had walked for a couple of hours!
I'm not sure the distance we traveled, but all our legs were tired at the end. The kids were determined to traverse every single path available to find every last bingo sign... It was a great way to get exercise though, and sunshine! Not to mention, it's a fun family activity for us to do together! ♥
What kinds of activities do you enjoy in the fall? What kinds of things do your family do together for bonding time?
Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely day! ♥

Heya mama! Long time since I passed by. Life has been too busy and I'm glad you had a tiring walk. I hope we can go out one time and do that. It'll definitely make the children ready for nap after :D The bottled water should have been really ice cold to be worth it hahaha.
Anyway, I remembered your daughter is into arts and photography. So if you could contact me on Discord, that would be great!
Sure, Ill try and find you over there! Are you in the @steemitmamas group?
Yes! I stop by and go, sometimes just to say a quick hello and catch up with the ladies.
Haha me too... Life is busy and it is hard to keep up with everything! ♥
I remember how fun it was!! I loved doing it with the family! I can't wait to see your next post!! (It seemed like a little too much work for a bottle of water though..)
Hugs and kisses! Love SnekLady. ♥
I ♥ your beautiful comment! yes, it was fun, but that was a lot of work for such a tiny prize! One bottle of water for 5 people?! Come on!
We enjoy crunching leaves in the fall.
It is a fairly new experience since I grew up in San Diego. We don’t really get seasons here it’s always kind of summer.
I lol’d at your explanation of “corn”
Haha thanks!
That's how it is here too. Summer, not as hot summer, a couple months of chilliness, not as hot summer, and back to summer again... :/
Thanks for sharing. What a fun time! Nothing like enjoying the great outdoors.
Thanks! It was great! ♥
What fun family time @squishysquid. Nothing like a "corn" maze...or perhaps a hayride and nice fire...roasting marshmellows :) Fall is fun, love the leaves changing, so beautiful. Hope you didn't get too sunburned!
Thanks!
Nope, not too badly sunburned, it was gone in a day or two.
They had hayrides there too, but I had to sit out due to my youngest not liking the loud music they were playing...
Oh well!
Sounds like a fun day and your right 'Corn Maze' sounds more fun than a 'Sorghum Maze'... for sure
I have only done a Corm Maze once and it was such fun with all the family
Thanks!
It was great. We look forward to it each year. It is a very big one! 10 acres of pretend corn to explore, haha! Here is a picture of this year's design taken from their website
You'd better believe we went down EVERY path, haha!
WOW what an awesome maze never seen anything like this
They always go all out, haha!
