Pumpkin Festival

{If you enlarge this you can some of the squash animals}

We were fortunate enough to get another nice weekend, although I thought we were done. Last year we discovered this great pumpkin festival about 1.5 hours away, and we loved it, so we went again this year on Saturday. The theme this year was Noah's Ark. They take different squash and make them look like animals, it is really cool. The camera ran out of batteries shortly after we got there, but Steve got some OK pictures. We went with the Carleys and the Hancocks. They are both great friends to us, and have became our Settler buddies. We have gotten together almost every weekend since the Hancocks moved in a month ago to play Settlers. It's been awesome.

That looks so fun! How cool that they make all the animals out of squash. It looks like great day with great weather. We are headed to a fall festival this weekend, but I think we'll get some cold and rain. We'll see. I love seeing the pictures of the boys, especially Brandon. He is really growing quickly.

What an awesome festival! Love the pics. We haven't played Settlers in so long, we are needing a game night soon--unpacking is a bore!
