Saturday October 9: We went to the Pumpkin Festival at Chatfield Resevoir. It was over-priced and there were too many people. There wasn't much for Gwen to do, but she did pick out a few pumpkins, play in the dirt, and eat a hot dog and corn on the cob. Her favorite thing was the blow up Chick-Fil-A Cow
Monday October 11: Gwen didn't have daycare and Mike & I had the stomach flu. It was one of the worst days ever. Gwen left a trail of destruction throughout our house and Mike and I were too sick to care. We let her eat what she wanted and do what she wanted. I am so happy she never got sick!!
Wednesday October 13: My baby turned 2! I started developing the cold that would follow the stomach bug.
Sunday October 17: After a week I am finally feeling decent again (stomach bug + horrible cold = worst week ever) so I decided to finally leave the house (besides for work) and take Gwen to a pumpkin patch in Parker. We thought the other pumpkin patch was over-priced........um it was NOTHING compared to this one. It was $10/person (even Gwen). We lied and said she was 2 and she was still $5. The pumpkins were insanely expensive so we didn't get one for her (she got 3 at the last one). We ended up sticking with the "free" activities because we did not want to send any more money at this place. We were shocked at what pumpkin patches have become.
Anyway, we paid the money and Gwen had a BLAST. We went into the petting zoo where Gwen got to feed baby cows, goats, ponies, and sheep. She looked at ducks and bunnies. She loved it but got a little scared when she got surrounded by all the animals while she was feeding them. She then spent, what seemed like eternity, playing in a vat of corn. We did the corn maze, played on hay, raced ducks, and played on the pumpkins made of gold. Now that I look back, $25 wasn't too much to spend on the memories we had from today :-)
