Talladay Farms Corn Maze

continued

By now it’s completely dark, and we’ve all had enough. The mosquitoes are eating us alive. “We should have stayed with Ben,” Mary says. “He just came from hockey practice. No bug would get within fifty feet of him without passing out.” My littlest guy’s crying that he’s thirsty, Shea’s mother is carrying her, and I’m wondering why on earth anyone would pay to do this. Fortunately, Josh finds a map on the ground and uses it to get us out, a true hero who’s accomplished what none of us adults could.

Right before we exit the maze, Dan mutters, “This is where it ends up like Lord of the Flies,” and starts singing, “A three-hour tour . . .”

The Talladay Farms Corn Maze continues every Friday and Saturday through November 2.
