The Corn MAIZE!

So today my Mom got to Lubbock to visit! Lance is out of town until Sunday on a guys weekend so my amazing Mom decided to come up an hang out. When she got here we were planning on trying to drive to Palo Duro Canyon and go hiking and stuff but the weather is looking really bad tomorrow....so we got online and looked at stuff to do in Lubbock. We found this Corn Maize & I had actually heard about it from one of my friends so we decided to try it out!

We got lost on the way and were kind of out in the country and we found a sweet little old many driving his tractor and he gave us directions. Once we got there it was the cutest thing! There was a pumpkin patch that was actually growing real pumpkins. They were cooking brisket sandwiches, corn on the con, hot dogs, sausage and lots of other yummy stuff. Their was a petting zoo for the kids and a hay ride through the fields where the kids could go pick their own pumpkins! The best part was the actual Corn Maize. It was like 10 ft. high corn and a huge Maize that you had to find your way through. There were lots of clues and things to help you through, but we were STRUGGLING! It took us almost 2 hours to find our way out of the thing. We eventually just started following this one family b/c the Dad knew what he was doing and we were going crazy! But it was really fun and really "Texan". The sunset was amazing and everyone seemed to be having so much fun with their families. Being out in the country like that is sooooo refreshing and such a nice break from being up at the hospital for school!

Here are some cute pics from the night. Tomorrow morning we are heading out to the Pumpkin Festival. Their is supposedly a lot of fun fall stuff and a famous bakery that it is supposed to be amazing! I'm sure it will be another super fun day with my mammasita!
