Pumpkin Festival Fun

We had so much fun at last year's Pumpkin Festival that we were excited to go again this year. Marina wanted to wear her Halloween costume. This year she is dressing like Laguna Blue from Monster High. The weather was beautiful today, so that must have contributed to the huge crowds were encountered on our way in.

We took a hay ride from the parking lot to the festival - the perfect way to start the day. Marina wanted to check out the pumpkin patch first. She was amazed at the variety and size of the pumpkins they had.

Next we looked at some of the vendor booths, Marina does love to shop! She picked up a water bottle and a lip balm from some of the tables we stopped at.

Marina was eager to have her face painted. Fortunately the line wasn't too long this year. She had blue flowers painted on her face.

Next we headed to the inflatables for some fun. Marina tried out the slides and obstacle courses before going to her favorite, the giant jumping pillow.

We found a nice grassy spot for lunch where a bluegrass band was playing. When we finished eating we tried out the giant Jenga games set up nearby. Another family joined us and we all enjoyed seeing how tall we could get the tower.

Before heading out, Marina got a balloon animal. She got a piranha which was very well made. We were very tired by that point, so we took another hay ride back to the parking lot and headed home.
