if you've already gone, which one did you go to? which ones have you go to in the past? what are you planning for this year?

We did Stocker farms this year and in years past. We really like it there and she's the perfect age this year to enjoy the activities.

In the past we have done Craven Farm and The Farm at Swan Trails and this year did Bobs. Bobs was the best. We did like The Farm last year, but heard they have a bee problem this year. I liked that Bobs has actual pumpkin patches, not pumpkins imported into an empty field, and the cow train was pretty fun. There were also a few animals to look at and feed.

we went to bob's last year..and i liked it, although i felt it could be better. does craven not have a *real* pumpkin patch? that's the one i was leaning toward this year.

We go to a farming the Orting Valley called Scholz Farms. We have gone there the last few years and it's nice but probably too much of a drive for most on here

Where are doing the farm at swans trail for bkbs birthday next week so I'll report back then.

If I'm remembering correctly it was pumpkins in a field that had been trucked in, so the only real difference was that the vines weren't there. Of the three, craven would be at the bottom if my list but we went there pre-kid and I don't know if that would be different now because I can't remember what kids stuff they had besides a corn maze.

I like carpinito brothers in Kent...but it's a drive for ya'll. Their mazes are always creative. A few years ago one was the coug and the other a uw design. This year it's a dragon and a castle.

Keep your left hand touching a wall and eventually you will make it out. Have you heard the couple that called 911 because they got stuck and the park closed down for the night?
But look, if there are scarecrows in these mazes...hell naw, mama chooses life!
