Corn, weed whackers, giggles and rain...

So today I spent the entire work day in the 6 acre corn maze with a weed whacker. We were clearing the trails of the over growth that grew after they cut the maze. We got about 3/4 of the way done, or at least we think we did. It is hard to tell really. We got lost twice. I am pretty sure both times it was Matt's fault. We got rained on once, for about 15 or 20 minutes. PS. when you are covered in grass clippings (and I mean COVERED) and then you get rained on, the grass sticks to you and you really can't get it off. We got nasty. We had fun though!

On a side note... I just found some grass in my ear lobe.... thought I washed that... hummmmm

Funny sayings of the day:

Matt, referring to the exit of the maze: It should be just up here.
Taco: It is over this way... I just came from there and all you have to do it cut through and you are out.
Matt, not hearing Taco, or not listening, either one: ...The next left maybe...
Taco slightly fed up but still in a good mood turns around: Do you want to get out of here?
Sarah laughing really hard at the situation: Uhhh Huhhhhh!
Taco walking past Sarah in the opposite direction of Matt: Well follow me then.
Sarah, struggling to walk through the corn that is 3 feet taller than she is, caring a weed whacker and laughing so hard she can hardly walk: Taco... wait!

Matt the second time he was referring to the exit of the maze: Head up that way..I"ll finish this up and be right behind you.
Bill, Taco and Sarah walk up the trail and follow the loop right back to Matt who turns around to see them and assumes they waited for him: I'm ready, let's head up that way.
Interns: We did. We ended up here!
Matt: What? Did you follow that trail?
Interns: Yes it loops around.
Matt: Are you sure?
Interns, finding the situation very funny, start laughing and amid various sarcastic remarks confirm that: yes, we are sure
Matt, seeing the interns laughing, apparently thinks that we are trying to trick him or something: Let's head up this way and see.
Sarah: ok.. I'll wait for you here!
Matt heads up the trail and the interns don't follow him, when he is out of sight the interns head down the trail and meat up with Matt in the center of the loop where Matt realizes what just happened: Ohh it is a loop. We must need to go that way then (pointing in the opposite direction)

Doug fighting bees to get some trash out of the gator: These bees are pretty bad.
Taco and Sarah: yeah they are.
Doug: I'm having to move all the trash because the gator apparently isn't working.
Taco and Sarah exchange knowing looks: no.. no it isn't.

Funny sayings of yesterday:

Taco to the nurse in the parking garage: Where is the shock trauma unit of the hospital?
Nurse: Do you know where the hospital is?
Taco: No, I'm from Illinois.

Things I have learned in the last few days:
1. Sushi is pretty good.
2. Flashbacks can have flashbacks (we watched The Prestige)
3. I really am allergic to cats, even really cute kittens that follow you around
4. Helicopters can land just about anywhere.
5. Baltimore is so confusing that even people from Baltimore don't know where things are.
6. Boring books shouldn't be read in a hospital waiting room.
7. How to start a weed whacker.
8. That I suck at Candyland.
9. Who Mike is! Finally!
10. I want Bill on my team when we go through the corn maze.
