We had a great morning at Pumpkinfest! We are lucky enough to live close enough to walk, which is really nice. We took the stroller with full intentions of getting the kids out to walk, but they were content so they didn't do much walking!

The first place we visited was the grower's tent where the weigh-off was in progress. Both kids got a balloon which was very exciting. You can see them holding onto the strings.

After the growers tent, we went to the Mason's tent and had identification kits done for both kids, including voice recording and pictures as well as digital finger prints and DNA samples (via q-tip in the cheek).
K really loved her balloon!
While Shaun and I were filling out paperwork, Lesley and Mike played with the kids and got some great pics of them on an old firetruck:

Here are a couple of the huge pumpkins on the podium:
After the identification kits were complete, we went over to the kids area where there were some GREAT rides. Initially we were going to take the kids on the ferris wheel, but unfortunately K was too short. Here we are looking at the ferris wheel:
So instead, we let the kids go on really tame rides alone! The first one was a rocket ship. Here's K getting strapped in:
Both kids really enjoyed the ride!

Then we put them on the Dumbo ride. Because it went up higher, we insisted they ride together because that made it less likely that they would slip out from under the belt.
They really enjoyed it!
Lesley took this great family photo beside an old steam tractor.
After lunch and looking at the craft tents, I took the kids home and they continued on to the car show.
It was a really nice day!
