The Great Pumpkin Festival

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!
