A girl among pumpkins

This past weekend we made our first family trip to the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival. Hartsburg is a very small town nestled among fall foliage and HUNDREDS of pumpkins. It was a very charming place with tons of good food (I had the best corndog of my life! They even brushed ketchup onto it for me! Who knew?), arts, crafts, musicians, etc. Faith enjoyed it for the most part....but we had the brilliant idea to go right after church....which coincidentially coincides with Faith's nap time. This made for a somewhat grumpy little girl....hence the "serious" photos :) But, we got our pumpkin and got to see the festival.


Concentrating very hard on touching the pumpkins "gently"


Amazed at the sheer number of pumpkins. Have we mentioned that Faith can almost say "pumpkin?" It's pretty cute :)


"Seriously Mom? Does it look like these pumpkins are comfortable?"



The only complaint from the festival....PARKING! We walked at least half a mile after parking on this gravel road to get to the town. While this could be a fun "adventure" with older kids....we were wishing we had packed the jogging stroller :)

We haven't carved our pumpkin yet, but when we do we will be sure to share :)
