Denver Downs- Henry.

Last Tuesday, the Clemson MOMS club rented out Denver Downs, the local corn maze and pumpkin patch.
But this was no ordinary pumpkin patch- it was awesome! They had a mini hay bale maze that June loved.
A barrel train that June refused to leave.
An awesome pulley system that took goat food up the "bridge" where the goats could eat it.
I stayed here for a long time.
It was a wonderful day, though a little warm for mama. Seriously, when is it going to cool down? It was well over 80 degrees and papa lost the sweatshirt soon after this picture was taken. Doesn't this look like a calendar shot?
We played with these pumps that floated ducks to the next barrel.
Then we took a hay ride out to the pumpkin field and picked out pumpkins. Check out Juner's tiny pumpkin.
Here's a good close-up of Junie's round teeth.
Hey mama, get a hair cut!
Papa couldn't help but try his hand at football.
While Junie rode a steer.
We took another ride on the barrel cows and luckily we were at the end of the line, so June could stay on for another ride.
In the shelter house were huge stacks of hay and hanging horsie tire swings.
Of course, I had to have a turn of my own.
While June stayed to swing on the horsie, mama and I ventured into the big corn maze. I wasn't too interested in it until I found out that the map they gave us had points we were supposed to find in the field. Then I had a great time trying to find them.
Here's what the field looked like from the air. We spent a lot of time up in that moon.
Before we left, we discovered the sand boxes filled with corn.
Serious fun throwing corn all over. Mama found hard kernels of corn around the house for days.
