One of the things I love about fall are the corn and straw mazes. Corey and I used to go to corn mazes and we always had fun. One year we decided to try the local straw maze. It’s in Archer Idaho near Big Juds (If you’ve ever lived around here you know about Big Juds). We found that we enjoy the straw maze much more than the corn mazes. So that’s been a tradition for us for a few years now. We like the straw because it’s nice and soft to walk on and you don’t have rows that you keep twisting your foot in. We also like how it muffles the sound and you really don’t feel like anyone else is in the maze until you round a corner and wallah there they are (I bet it’s pretty cool at night). Also you can’t really tare a part the bails of hay like they do the corn. So the maze looks the same the last day as it did the first. This year they had some tunnels built into the maze which the kids absolutely loved. If you haven’t tried the straw maze you should. It can be a little claustrophobic at times so if you have trouble with that maybe you don’t want to try this. Each of us took turns leading the way through the maze getting hopelessly lost and when we got to the finish we started it all over again. This is a great family activity.
