Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival

 This weekend, we made a trip to the quaint little town of Hartsburg for their annual Pumpkin Festival.  It turns out that we weren't the only ones to make this trip, actually about 30,000 other people were there on Sunday as well (along with another 30,000 on Saturday).  Who knew that we'd been missing something so popular all these years.  There were so many things to see and do, and Avery had a great time.  She and Jeremy made a little wooden car with some woodworkers...CUTE!

Avery also got a chance to pick her very own pumpkin (or ball as she likes to call it).    

We had a hard time finding a small one that she could pick up, but we eventually found just the right one.

Once we did find one that Avery could pick up, she decided to throw it.  She has a slight obsession with balls...she thinks anything round is a ball that needs to be thrown in order to be chased down by one of her parents.  While I enjoy burning off the calories (kettle corn in this particular case), occasionally this game becomes slightly redundant.  All in all, we had a great time.  Sign us up for another pumpkin festival!
