Sequins and Sea Breezes: A-Mazing

A-Mazing

"Not until we get lost do we truly find ourselves" - Henry David Thoreau
 
While I fully agree with this quote I guess getting lost in a corn maze isn't exactly what Mr. Thoreau had in mind. However, it was a lot of fun so I figured I'd share our corn maze adventure with you! Growing up in the "Midwest" (I was kinda in the Midwest, kinda not. The Cincinnati region is one of those mixes) fall was always my favorite season. The leaves changing, the crisp cool air, apple cider, pumpkin patches, haunted house and of course corn mazes and hay rides. So when I moved to Florida and realized my favorite season no longer existed I was a bit sad but I've found my own way to keep up with my favorite fall activities. Enter Long & Scott Farms...

 
 
 
I heard about Scott's Maze Adventure last year but never found time to actually go but I knew this year I wanted to make time. Saturday was a cloudy, cool and slightly breezy day; another words the typical Midwest fall day so definitely a good day to check it out. 
 
 
Located just outside of Orlando (in BFE Florida... no seriously, were we even still in Florida>?!?) Scott's Maze Adventure has been around since 2003 and has a little something for everyone. After you watch a video giving you information about the 7 acre corn maze you're allowed to enter the "Adventure Area" which has fun little things for both kids and adults as well as food and beverages and places to sit. There are two different corn mazes, the main 7 acre one and a smaller kid friendly one. We immediately headed to the adult one since we've heard it's pretty difficult to find your way out and as much as I hoped we wouldn't have to be one of the parties that needed to be "rescued" I wasn't too sure we'd make it out. 


Upon entering the maze you grab a flag and a booklet with games to play while you're in the maze. The flag is in case you can't find your way out and need someone to come get you and apparently this has happened before! 


Once inside the maze there are colored ribbon markers to let you know where you are in the maze. If you're in the blue, yellow or green section you're in a section that has an exit. If you're in the white section there's no way out there and you need to find one of the other colors. Once we got a little deeper into the maze it was pretty much just us against the maze. I definitely learned we're quite the indecisive bunch! 


After awhile we managed to find our way out through the yellow section but then wanted to go back in because we hadn't seen the red section yet. Whomp whomp. The red section was the smaller kids maze which is why we never found the red section the first time but we were committed. We finally found our way out a second time but this time through the green section. 



At the end of the day I'd definitely go back and do it again. Even though Kerri did get assaulted by a creepy spider in the tree maze it was still a blast! We kept saying how fun the maze would be if you tried it at night and it looks like they're doing their first ever adults only night maze adventure in December so I definitely might be making a trip back out there for that! 
 
I have a pretty important meeting this morning so any positive vibes would be greatly appreciated! And after my meeting I'll be heading to the west coast to meet up with the lovely Amanda for a little blogger date so I'll probably be MIA today... sorry lovelies! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

  2. I am straight up in the middle of the Midwest (Kansas City, what's uppppp) and yet have never been through a corn maze, ha! They look like fun, though!

    Seriously jealous of the fact you're able to wear super cute shorts + ankle boots right now- a cold front has swept in from the north, and we're in the 20's this morning. Holy cold, yowza!
