A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

The kids had a weekend full of festivals!  We went to our town's little fall festival (with our cousin Luke) on Friday night.  They dressed up and played little carnival games and ate a lot of good food.  Then on Saturday, we went to a pumpkin festival (with our friends JJ, Jessica, Jonathan and Baby Georgia Mae) in a nearby town.  We had so much fun!  The pumpkin festival was very cool and pretty big--last year around 400,000 people attended.  Along with all of the pumpkin food you would expect, there were also some weird pumpkin foods like pumpkin hamburgers and pumpkin stew.  We filled up on pumpkin pies, pumpkin cream puffs, pumpkin donuts, and pumpkin hamburgers (with a few corn-dogs thrown in there too).  Ken stood in line for over an hour to get our "famous" pumpkin pie and donuts!  We saw a pumpkin that weighed over 1300 lbs., and a "tree" made out of pumpkins.  The kids got to ride the ferris wheel and a twirling dragon (with Jessica and me).  It was a full day of pumpkin fun for our little pumpkin-heads!
