The Whole World in His Hands

A few years ago I heard about this really neat corn maze down by Columbia. I wanted to go then, but never got the chance. So this year after driving by it on my way home from meetings, I decided that we were going no matter what. So the next day we all loaded up and headed out.

This is what the maze looked like this year. Every year they do something different. I really like this one.



It was an absolute beautiful day for it. It wasn't rainy, it wasn't cold and it wasn't too hot. It was PERFECT!

They had 8 different checkpoints that you had to find and answer the question that they had on your little paper. We looked for checkpoint 7 for 45 minutes! We found checkpoint 4....
4 times!!!!

At the very end after you have answered every single question you check to see how many of your answers were correct and then you drop it in a trashcan to try and win a big grand prize at the end of the year. I got all but one right! Jared thought he would be cool and answer differently than me b/c he thought he was right on a few of them and he wasn't:)

All in all it was fantastic and we can not wait to do it again next year!

Enjoy all the pics!


Imagine that! This boy finding the mud!






Our first checkpoint we found!


This was overlooking the field from on top of a bridge in the middle of the maze.

After 2 hours and 4 minutes, we were finally done!!!
