Pumpkinfest 2009!!

The kids, of course, were only interested and excited about the rides. When we went to swimming lessons the night before they were setting up the rides and Patrick desperately wanted to go try out the ferris wheel. Waiting is so hard sometimes!

Patrick eagerly went on the ferris wheel with Daddy. Kathryn had said she wanted to go but had changed her mind right before we were to get on it. Up so high!

We also went on the robot ride - very tame - will skip this one next year I think!








Kathryn found a flower.

Patrick in a duck:


K riding in a dolphin:


Brave Mr. P went on the "raiders" maze twice. He had to go past some hanging obsticles, up a rope ladder, down a blow up slide, up some stairs, across 2 big bridges (like below) and then...



Down a HUGE slide! He went on this twice!

They also had a mini-coaster this year. It wasn't working very well because it was wet, but the kids got a quick ride (and their tickets back too!).













We also stopped by the Library booth and made a free craft:





Shaun fed the kids fries for lunch while Lesley and I looked around the craft tents:

Lesley took this great Family shot with the winning pumpkins. We actually set a record this year (which was quickly overturned by another fair/vegetable contest with an even higher weight!)
We had a great morning and left when the rain began to get heavy again.
Thanks to Lesley & Mike for taking all these great pictures!
