Circleville 2011

The Circleville Pumpkin Show was fabulous this year, and we had a great time. The weather turned out to be perfect, and the boys were pretty cooperative. And this blog post almost does justice to the fantastic day we had.

Connor playing a dart game.
He got three darts.
He popped a balloon with dart #2.
He won a little stuffed dog.
His joy was abundant.

Getting on the spinning pumpkin ride.
I rode with Lex, but I don't think he really needed my help.
Maybe next year he can ride alone.
I felt a little sick after Connor spun us around like crazy.

I also did a fun house obstacle course with Lex to make sure
he would be okay. He didn't really need my help there either.

Connor's First Corn Dog of the Day.
One of many.
I don't think a single pumpkin food item passed his lips.
Just corn dogs. Oh, and pizza.

I ate a Stromboli and a walking taco.
I also ate my weight in pumpkin donuts.
And drank a ton of Pepsi, too.
Oh, and a wine slushie! That was definitely a hit!

Finally, we get to ride!
It was totally worth the wait, too.

Not pictured: The dozen or so hot air balloons
that were taking off during our Ferris Wheel Ride,
which were fabulous from our high-up vantage point.

The Sixth Place Pumpkin.
What, you were expecting the First Place Pumpkin?
Or perhaps the Second? Or Third? ...

Connor and Daddy
and the little dog Connor won, too.

Connor also won a goldfish.

Lex won a little rubber ducky playing
the duck pond toddler game, too.

Last year here.
