Pumpkin Fest

One of the great things about living in a new town is that we get explore all the local events and festivals for the first time.  We have been looking forward to the Huron Pumpkin Festival since we moved here in August.  Because, as you know, we love fall and we love festivals.  

Some YL staff friends from Cleveland came to join us and we all had brunch together at our house before we headed to the boat basin for the activities.   The girls had a blast, but being that we live in small town America now, it didn't take long to see everything there was to see.  With the extra time, we decided to introduce our friends to the frozen deliciousness that is 'Pied Piper'.  Even on a chilly Fall afternoon it brings happiness.

The 'Island Jungle Petting Zoo'...which feature exactly zero animals from the jungle or an island.  There were some crazy goats though who absolutely loved carrots.  Makes me miss Lily.
We have never seen a Kangaroo at a petting zoo before.  I guess there is a first time for everything.  And I guess, technically, Kangaroos come from an island...

After our friends left, we drove to Medina for the annual chicken barbecue.  It was nice to see some family we haven't seen in a while and the colors of Fall were just beginning to make an appearance.   

Fun times on the farm.
