The Maize
Earlier this week we drove to Hondo to tackle the South Texas Maize. Did you notice the play on words? Actually the maze was not cut in a corn field; it's sorghum. The owner told us that they tried to grow corn but they only could get it to grow waist high.
Anyway, I digress. We had a great time. The maze was actually pretty difficult and we got lost a few times. One group got so lost they had to send in a "corn cop" to retrieve them.
The owners are homeschoolers themselves, so their children were there helping out. Apparently they follow a curriculum and then take their "summer" vacation in the fall so they can help out with business. My kids were completely enthralled by watching their teenage son make kettle corn and the daughter came with us on a wagon ride and caught a chicken for the kids to pet.
The chicken:
