Spooky Halloween Houses

It got me thinking about other spooky things we've done on past Halloweens, like make these Halloween Candy Houses:

It's been a tradition to visit the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch:

Southern California Pumpkin Patches (The Real Kind - not in mall parking lots):

Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark (Ventura County) - Thanks to GoExploreNature for this one!
Lombardi Ranch near Santa Clarita, CA (LA County) - closed 2015 due to drought
Bates Nut Farm in Escondido, CA (San Diego area)
Tanaka Farms U-Pick Pumpkin Patch (Orange County)

The absolute BEST pumpkin patch I've ever visited is Vala's Pumpkin Patch in Omaha, Nebraska! You cannot beat it for some real fall fun. It has a MASSIVE corn maze and acres and acres of activities. Check out the pumpkin cannon:

And baby pig races!

Needing to take a LONG tractor ride out into a real field of pumpkins:

And ending the evening with campfire songs and smores! What could be better?

Man! Every October I want to go back!  Next year, maybe?
