An afternoon at Conner’s A-maizing-ing Acres. Last year we got so lost that we ended up driving off road for miles and got there with only enough time to do the corn maize and hay ride in the dark. We had a great time and enjoyed the recent onset of cool weather. If you’re in Jacksonville and haven’t made it out here, I highly recommend it. Only one more weekend left, and I think military families are free next weekend.
We managed to be the only passengers on the last run of the hay ride. The two local boys who were running the ride asked us how come almost everyone who came that day was from Jacksonville but none of us knew each other. They said, “Round here, everybody knows everybody.” We were happy to report we did run into our neighbors from down the street! But, they were still baffled that Jax could be so big that we didn’t know all our neighbors.
