The Pumpkin Patch!

We drove down to Clemson this year to visit the Denver Downs pumpkin patch and corn maze. It's supposed to be the largest corn maze in South Carolina - it was pretty big!

They had tons of activities: hayrides, a corn cannon, the corn maze, a cow "train" to ride on, rope swings... the list goes on. One of Reid's favorite things this year was the goat walk, where you use a pulley to send a bucket of food up to a plank where the goats walk up to get it. Those goats were hilarious! The also had grain boxes (like sand boxes) to play in, which he really enjoyed. I'm still finding grains in his shoes. :)

It was cool but sunny day and the sun warmed things up quite a bit as the day went on. But Reid was determined to wear his hat, as you'll see in most of the photos...


I love the photo (bottom right) of the guys ready to slide down the corrugated tubing "slide."

Reid liked shooting the corn cannon at the "rooster" (known around here as a Gamecock).

So many fun things to do!
