Corn Maze


It was finally the night every high school student lives for, Friday night. There was always an exciting event to look forward to, if it wasnt a dance it was a football game, or just a good time with your closest friends.


It was a perfect fall Friday night with no footall game, dance or any other extracurricular activities to participate in. I gazed out the window observing the yellow, red and orange leaves of the trees. I could smell the scents of fall through my cracked window. These characteristics of this beautiful fall season tempted me to embrace the outdoors therefore tonight would be a trip to the cider mill. I called my two closest friends and put on my warmest sweater.


We had finally arrived after a long impatient drive. We were welcomed by a scene that consisted of hay rides, a pumpkin patch, cows, a donut hut and a massive cornmaze. As expected, we immediatly went to the donut hut for those delicious homemade sugared donuts and fresh cider.


After 3 donuts each we went to visit the cows and take pictures of them. When we finished taking what seemed to be a hundred meaningless pictures of cows we decided we would take on the difficult challenge of the corn maze.


We impatiently waited in line for the hay ride that would take us out to the corn maze. We passed bonfires surronded by families and a large overpicked pumpkin patch to arrive to the massive complicated corn maze that mos people would think to be impossible to finish, escpecially because when it was Rebecca, Julia and I wondering this difficult cornmaze.


We entered the tall corn stalks not sure of which direction to explore. Left, right or straight, was always the question that came to mind whenever we entered a fork in the path. It had almost beem an hour when we found the first cedar tree and we were about ready to give up. On our way out of the maze we got lost a couple times but surprisingly managed to find the two other trees while we were lost.


The bright lights towards the front of the maze guided us towards the exit. The hay ride trailor waited for us as the driver saw us approaching. The bumpy ride led us away from our great adventures in the cornmaze. We took a quick stop at the cider mill store for fall candy and headed back home.


An ordinary Friday night became an excelent fall adventure for the three of us!
