The Great Pumpkin Festival

We did end up going to the Great Pumpkin Festival at Farnsworth Farms in Sandy (two blogs ago). You can still go tonight and Friday night, and if you do go, please get ahold of us because we have some extra tickets for the hayride and bounce house we didn't use and we will meet you somewhere and give them to you, so I bet you could do the whole event for free. It's family night people!

The movie was the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin one. I thought the kids would be totally disinterested but they laughed and laughed. Go Charles Shultz...you've still got it. They showed the movie a few times on the side of a big truck, and they kept giving out free prizes from the attending vendors through a raffle during breaks. We didn't win anything but I laughed hard when some 9 year old boys won a cute & crafty binky clip. At least they didn't win the breastfeeding shield. Hee hee.

You can buy refreshments there, cider and doughnuts and dinner, everything looked really good, but we saved our pennies by packing our own snacks for the movie. We did cave for some fresh kettle corn. Mmmmmm.

It was pretty chilly so if you go, bring blankets, and arrive as soon as you can so you can do everything while the sun is still warming you a bit.

I had fun

Fernando had fun (is this an authentic joy? Can't be sure. Looks a bit manufactured to me...could it be hauling all of our gear back and forth from the car that required the extra effort for this smiley picture?)

See, he really had fun. My cute boys. Soon there will be 3 of them! Whooo!

All in all, it was a great event. I think you should go! And take our extra tickets with you!
