Today we went to Escobar Farms to get lost in a corn maze. I brought my compass. After the first corn maze we took a hay wagon tour of the farm pulled by this tractor. The tractor pulled us past fields of corn and pumpkins. We traveled through the dairy barn and around a very, very large manure pile. Cow birds flocked around the cows. We could feel the frame of the hay wagon bend and shift as we went through a muddy corner. We went through the second corn maze and got lost again. Although the experience might seem over priced to some customers, the Escobar family might not be able to make ends meet with dairy, beef, corn and pumpkins alone. Perhaps our fall family activity is what the farming family needs. We breathed fresh air. We had sunshine on our faces. We made new memories.
