Pumpkin Days
Yesterday we visited 4R Ranch for Pumpkin Days. We took a hay ride, picked a pumpkin, and got lost in the corn maze. The weather cooperated so we have a great time.
The corn maze is a clever invention. Since a farmer usually grows field corn for his livestock, why not carve a maze before harvesting it? The corn stalks are too high to see the pattern. This particular maze was tougher than usual, probably because some complained that it was too easy in earlier years and partly because we took many wrong turns and ended up in some circles. The point of the maze, for me anyway, is to enjoy the experience. Many people like to hurry through the maze competitively, but we just followed my daughter while she led the way, creating some fun family time.
