Saturday night about 30 Lighthouse teens went to Ken's Korny Corn Maze, in Garner, NC.  This is one of the monthly activities for the teens in our support group.  Last month a family hosted a game night at their house which drew about 40 kids.  Next month is supposed to be a service project ~ I think helping at an Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection center.  

The Corn Maze was a lot of fun.  Mark and I went along , bringing Jason as well as Eric, Amanda, and a friend.  The maze is cut in a 6-acre corn field, and you go through in groups of 3-6 people, attempting to find  12 boxes  which contain a rubber stamp to stamp your card.   Once you have all 12 stamps, you find your way out of the maze and your time is recorded. The object is to finish in the least amount of  time.  Of our teens, the fastest group finished in 39 minutes.  My husband, our friend Rick, Jason, and his friend Nathan, took an hour and 20 minutes ~ they were the slowest.  There was a 2-story observation tower next to the entrance, from which you could observe the maze and see where the various teams were. Each team carried a large flag on a pole, so you could see the flags bobbing along above the tops of the corn stalks.  After they finished, Eric and his friends climbed the tower and attempted to help direct the dads via cell phone.  That part was pretty hilarious.
