ETTM: corn mazes

[jennlin]

why is it fun to get lost/frustrated in a corn field? and if you get a map/know your way out, then what's the point?

We love corn mazes. Just the sense of accomplishment to reach all the checkpoints and get out. Tman loves them and loves to lead the way.

i've never been but it just freaks me out.

I haven't been in quite a few years but always loved them. We wouldn't use a map unless for some panic reason we needed too. They have always just been fun and kind of part of the pumpkin patch experience.

This. I really want to go, but h won't go with me and they're all kind of far. Ok, maybe I don't really want to go or else I would have made it by now, but I do want to go.

okay, maybe i've never been to a good one that has landmarks or anything in it, that's why.

and i've done a haunted corn maze before...i think at remlinger farm? and it wasn't a maze at all...it was just a path that you had to follow.

I'm trying to get H to do one for date night this month. If it ends up being a good one I'll report back. I've never done one.

We went to one. I wouldn't go to _just_ a corn maze but it was at something where they had other stuff. Like, you could buy your pumpkins there, pay a few bucks to shoot a pumpkin out of a cannon (basically a giant potato gun), that sort of thing.

[jennlin]

kb, it was your post about date night that inspired this post haha.

Yup, they're just fun. We used to always go to the Farm in Snohomish (the one with the WA state map) and the girls would run off and try to beat the boys to the finish. Then we'd go back and sneak out from between the corn stalks to scare them. I dunno, they bring out my inner 5 year old. We haven't gone this year and I'm kinda sad about it.

I've never done one but I've always wanted to. Growing up in Southern California we didn't have them. I think it would just be a fun thing. Bring out your inner child.
