\"Pumpkins<\/a> <\/p>\n

Ally and Aiden and I went to Circleville, Ohio today.<\/p>\n

It is the home of the 103rd Pumpkin Festival.<\/p>\n

There were pumpkin waffles and doughnuts, pumpkin ice cream and cheesecake.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin candy and brittle, eep fried pumpkin blossoms, the world’s largest pumpkin pie and a whole lot of normal sized ones, as well.  Giant pumpkins, carved pumpkins, decorated pumpkins.  Pumpkins for sale and pumpkins on display.  PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN- everything pumpkin.<\/p>\n

It was so much fun.  They had a pumpkin parade and cordoned off ALL of their downtown streets so that crafters and vendors and civic organizations could display and sell their pumpkin paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

PUMPKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

(some were so cute- see the one with curly Q’s out of chenille stems? That one and the one next to it were decorated by siblings.  The curly Q won a ribbon- the next one did not.  There was one very unhappy little sister looking at those pumpkins!)<\/p>\n

And there was a parade- which we didn’t see- but we met up with two members of the parade a little later!<\/p>\n

And then he went on this mixer- and we were done with the rides.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pumpkins<\/a> We went into the craft area and I had to take this picture.  Really, I had to – because it just amazes me what people….<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkins<\/a> <\/p>\n

will wear on their heads in public!<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkins<\/a><\/p>\n

Aiden fell asleep on the way home.  I nodded off for a little while,<\/p>\n

But it was a wonderful adventure.<\/p>\n

And we found the great pumpkin-\"Pumpkins<\/a> <\/p>\n
