Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze!

Last Friday, we had the most fun work outing!  After our company meeting, the marketing department (which is only 4 of us counting our boss, Donna) headed to a delicious lunch at... you guessed it O'CHARLEYS!!  We all love that place, and the soup couldn't have tasted any better!
After lunch, we headed to Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze!  I had been wanting to go to one this year, and it was so much fun. Uncle Shuck's Maze is a 12 acre field of corn that has approximately 4 miles of trails, twisting and turning, and sometimes, coming to a deadend! It was divided into 2 mazes, so we started off with the shorter one first.  Unbelievably both mazes perfectly formed a detailed image of a butterfly!
Luckily they give you a map so you can TRY to navigate.  Lacey and Donna were hysterical with being turned around the entire time... good thing Jen and I are good at directions!  There were 12 checkpoints that you had to find to make sure you were on track, plus they helped you figure out where you were!
There were also "FSI" (Farm Scene Investigation) games near every checkpoint where you could cross off a potential suspect.  Lacey was so gung-ho on "FSI" till half way through when her legs began to get tired and her flannel farmer shirt was getting too hot.  SO funny.
Next we went on the hayride through some more corn and enjoyed sitting for a little while.  Going through those mazes will wear you out!  (I didn't realize how much we walked till I got home and took a 2 hour nap, woke up for dinner, then went back to sleep at 9!)
What a fun day to spend with friends!  We are already looking forward to our next marketing outing!
