Perusing Pumpkins

Krystal e-mailed me about Gardner's Village Wee Witches Weekend yesterday and we decided to go. It sounded like there would be a lot of fun activities for the kids, a costume parade, and a little shopping on the side. The fact that I got lost on my way to her house should have clued me in to what kind of day today was going to be... {I tried the new Legacy Highway for the first time and got off on the wrong exit} Once we finally got there we were ready to go!

Erin and Sammy met us there for a little pumpkin perusing

Sadly the whole thing was quite a let down. It was so crowded! None of our children our school age and we didn't realize that it was UEA weekend. There was a whole lot of children running around quite a few stores that don't want a whole lot of children running around them. We had a hard time parking. We had a hard time maneuvering through the masses. The bakery and food vendors were a mob scene. The petting zoo was a joke at $7 a kid. Amazingly the kids were in heaven!

I got some pictures from my brother-in-law Jared today and I am second guessing myself about posting my prize winning fish from last weekend...

I love this picture of Seth in this cool tree we found:

Josh was very excited about the cheesecake I made him!

Here is Seth with his life preserver on under his coat and ski bibs and...

Grandpa tried to catch a few Zzz's

Not the trophy fish we were hoping for...

But still we caught some beauties!!!I guess that I have reached the point in my life where I can choose comfort over fashion. I didn't realize how crazy I looked until saw this one of me... But I was warm!
