Corn Maze

Halloween morning we took off to Hondo for the South Texas corn maze.  Despite being a longer drive than expected (Texas is BIG!) we had a great time.  Here’s some picture highlights of our time there.

Henry climbing to the irrigation pipe slide.  Nice use of everyday farm stuff.

Henry posing in the maze.  I have no idea where he learned to pose like this but I love it.  Such a little model.

About to leave the maze.  We followed all the scripture based clues and never made a wrong turn.  Despite not having a clue what the answer to question 3 was.  “what animal was the first out of the ark?”  and no, dove was not one of the options.

Listening to the cowboy story-teller.  Great animal sounds and fun stories.  I got to play the role of a skunk in one of the stories.  Lots of fun.  :)  He came and talked to us for 20 minutes after.  He and Dell had fun chats about bats.  I guess he leads a tour at a nearby state park known for its bats.

Lizzy was doing this when an employee came up and asked us to enter her in the costume contest.  We knew we had to do it when they said she had a good chance of winning cause she was so cute.  And she did.  2nd prize.  Which got us a little pumpkin, a medium bag of kettle corn, and a drink.  Not bad work Lizzy.  Way to go.  Everywhere we went people stopped us to tell us how cute she is.  Does a mom like anything more?
