Denver Downs and Enchanted Tracks

We love the month of October. I think I had events filling our weeknights and our weekends. We have been to the Upper South Caroline State fair. We went on a Monday night and it was dead. Craw got a wristband and ran from ride to ride and could ride whatever he wanted over and over again. Needless to say  he asks to go to the fair every day now...he loved it! Nana and Papa joined us and we all had fun watching Craw have the time of his life.
 
 
 
 
We went to another event I read about called Enchanted Tracks in Greenville. It's centered around Craw's favorite thing---George the Train! You are supposed to wear your costume and ride George the train through some Halloween decorations in the dark. That was clearly the highlight of Craw's night. However, they also had bounce houses, games, a balloon artist, costume contest, hay maze, face painting, and an enchanted train where princesses and gremlins passed out candy in the forest. It was adorable! Craw got a Thomas the Train balloon that he just loved. Hope and Carter, Brian, Nana, and Papa joined us and we had fun watching the kids run around and play.

He got to go to the pumpkin patch at school and pick out a pumpkin. He asks to go there every day as well.
 
 
Next up was one of our favorite events Denver Downs farm. They have a huuuge corn maze (which we still haven't even attempted), a hayride on a tractor, civil war reenactment, pumpkin patch, mazes of all sizes, petting zoo, slides, train, trampoline, hay and rope swings to climb on...It is a kid's heaven!

 
Above, he was running through the maze.

 
Here he is on the tractor hay ride.

He loved this slide that's made of some sort of farm equipment.

Of course his favorite was the tractor that pulled cow trains.
 
The guy taking us around was funny and kept telling Craw "hands up like a bad guy" and we rode this quite a few times.

 
this is a giant trampoline set right in the ground. It looked like a ton of fun.

We also visited Greer First Baptist fall festival with bounce houses galore, a firetruck, and trunk or treating. Craw is totally not into trick or treating. He doesn't want to dress up or walk around and get candy. It should be an interesting Halloween this year.
