Denver Downs

Last weekend, we went with some friends to Denver Downs, a local pumpkin patch and corn maze. It ended up being a beautiful day, so we were glad we waited until this weekend to go. (The weekend before was cold and rainy.)

Bailey and her friend, Will, headed straight for the animals. They got to see sheep, goats, a pig, and a cow.

They also got to pump water in a duck race.

Then it was time for the corn maze.

I think the corn maze was Bailey's favorite part. She loved being able to just run around. She preferred being out in front. I think she liked the fact that we all had to follow her.

Next was Bailey's first experience on a ride. I wasn't sure what she would think of it. Part of me was afraid she would start crying or try to get out, but she ended up doing just fine and really enjoyed it.

Will and Bailey.

Such a cute ride.

Checking out the hay.

Then the corn. She thought it would be a good idea to throw corn right on top of a little baby, so we had to watch her after that.

I thought it was so funny to watch the goats climb this thing. I can't believe they don't fall off.

Skigh took Bailey on the big slide.

Bailey didn't like it so much. A few seconds after they were out of the slide, she started crying.

Time for the hay ride. Bailey would absolutely not sit still. There were several other little kids on the ride, and she was the only one who refused to sit. She wanted to walk around and climb the hay. It wasn't a very relaxing ride for us.

Friends, due with their second baby in a couple of weeks.

The hay ride stopped in the pumpkin patch.

We decided not to get our pumpkins here because we didn't want to carry them around. We had fun looking though.

A few more things before we went home... a mini maze. (It was actually really hard because you weren't allowed to turn left. It took four of us adults to figure out the right way to do it.)

...And a football toss. Skigh came pretty close to getting it through the tire.

Luckily, we found a flat football for Bailey to play with. I held her up so she could throw it through the tire, but she said, "No!" I guess she was afraid of losing her ball.
