How do you like your corn?

Well. This has been an interesting day, yes. Certainly the most unique corn maze adventure yet in all...oh, eight? years going there. haha. It was one of my last, after all :/

You know what? I am a winner, a record breaker. Longest time to get through the entire corn maze, getting all 15 piece and filling in all 12 "Mad-gical Libs." 2 hours and 15 minutes of win. Yes. It really happened. Intercom announcement through the entire farm and everything. Can you tell I'm strangely proud? ;)

The first blank should read "Jillian Gogel, 2hrs 15min." Rookie mistake is all :D 
So the theme this year was like, princess theme, "Once Upon A Time.." It was interesting, yes. I wasssss a fan of all the Disney music they played whilst we were drudging through the corn. I think this year was made for me or something.

Aside from winning being a loser, the other thing of note was that, for half of the maze, I was actually flying solo. What started out as a family of four quickly lost a member when Mom decided she had had enough and took the Quick Exit and all. Pshaw, no, I no do that kind of thing. Then, in the like...most obscure part of this 5 acre dungeon, it appeared to me that father and sister pulled "let's leave" on me. Accordinggggg to Dad, they only stopped for a quick photo opt, but I really do know better. Bad timing is all. I totally waited for five minutes for any sign of familial relations, but once no one showed up, I abandoned ship feeling quite put out. I mean, what if I wasn't able to get out of a SEA of corn? Lawl lawl, I did though, wooo! Anyhoo. It was nice being alone, because I could do as I pleased.
It's kinda funny though...I apparently made some acquaintances along the way because I came across the same three or four families like a billion times. At one point, I actually traveled with a random family who I did this to because I asked them for assistance and we ended up conferring extensively. You know you've met someone when you tell them what college you plan on going to and what you want to study. xD And then, after I got out and met up with the rest of the Brady Bunch, we were walking out and who should I pass by but a family I ran into in the most despairing of spots several times. xD You know what the husband did? He looked at me, smiled, chortled, then held out his fist. We then proceeded to fist bump each other. Is this peculiar to you guys? Cause if not, I'm just going to feel free to be immensely pleased and happy with this. I should have asked to take a picture with him...haha. 

Anyhoo, I've written extensively about things that you might or might not be pulling your hair out at. I'll put up a few pictures of this adventure.

Yay sunburn, lovely strangers, Isaac's sandwiches afterwards, Sight and Sound Theater's production of "Joesph" (the fabulousssss biblical theater company who can be compared favorable with Broadway and whose shows are always breathtaking. Might I just say that this was by far my favorite :D), Lancaster, amish people, and families although we don't always get along. Today has been good. Let's keep it that way :D 

I also like it when people are happy to see or be around me. You know. Tis flattering :D That is all. 

Pretty Amish flower horsey.


Jambo!


I is a serious adventurer.


Prettay mermaid face.

That is a lot of corn. Finally made it to that crucial bridge.

The cute potato mailboxes that the game pieces are always in.

Bafflement in the straw maze. 

Renaissance tomorrow! Definitely DEFINITELY (should) have good pictures from that :D

  1. Pennsylvania is AMAZING. My family has vacationed there several times .

    I LOVE Sight and Sound Theater! We see a show there almost every time we're up there. I think the first one I saw was Noah and it's still my favorite just because of all the animals :D

    And yay for corn mazes! Those things are beast.

  2. So have we. Again, eight years ;)

    We haven't been to Sight and Sound for a while and, although I'm not a particularly religious person, their shows always move me :D Love them. My first one was either Noah or Abraham and Sarah, but Noah or Joesph are definitely top contenders for favorite :D

    Yes they are!
