Pumpkin Festival

On Saturday we took the big man to the Desert Botanical Gardens pumpkin festival. There is not much for the big man to do there because he is still small, but he did get to ride the tractor to pick out his pumpkin.

Once out to the "pumpkin patch" he played in the pumpkins while we took a ton of photos.

We soon realized that he has an allergy to hay. FUN! His eyes got very red, watery and he kept rubbing them with his hands that were directly touching the hay. This mamma quickly picked out a pumpkin and we got out of there.

We took a quick family photo at the exit and then headed home to relieve the big man of his allergies. He did not get these allergies from me because I do not have allergies. Since we were not at the festival long it turned out to be one expensive pumpkin...oh well!

After waking up from his nap, we carved his pumpkin. He wasn't sure about it...and especially did not like getting his hands dirty. He eventually got into it and had pumpkin all over his legs and belly.

After clean up we lit the pumpkin and the big man thought this was pretty cool.
