This year we veered from our tradition of visiting Theis Farm and went to the Great Pumpkin Festival at Morning Star Church. It was AMAZING! Such a wonderful event and so organized. They even had a baby nursing and changing area! As a nursing mom, things like that are so awesome. We didn't particpate in all of the events because we arrived after 5:00 but Kenny had a blast anyway. We ate hotdogs and caramel apples. Daddy and Kenny took a ride on the barrel train, and Kenny jumped in a bounce house. By himself. This was huge! We had fun picking out our pumpkin and walked by the petting zoo, but Kenny didn't want to go in! We watched a little punkin' chunkin' before heading home! Extra bonus, there was a "how tall" sign so I still got our traditional picture, even though Kenny is screaming in it! Ah, 2 year olds! Some of the things we saw but didn't take part in were a chili cook off, pumpkin carving contest, pumpkin decorating. push broom races, pony and hay rides, funnel cakes, and so much more!
Did I mention that all of this was free? That's right! What an incredible event! Thank you Morning Star for such a fun family evening!
