Circleville Pumpkin Show 2012

We got our pumpkin on!

Connor and Lex got their motorcycle on.

Nana and Grandpa joined us for the first time.  Here is Nana in front of the walking taco stand that I visit every year.

Our friends Logan and Joe on the carousel.

Connor is big enough to ride by himself now!

Lex was so so so excited to jump on this trampoline.  He said, "I'm flying!"

It was so much fun to watch him jump, because he was having such a great time.


See what I mean?

This giant slide was so fun that they wanted to do it again as soon as they were done the first time!

Connor really wanted to play carnival games, and he picked one where you throw little bean bags at balloons to pop them.  He popped a balloon on his very first try!  Lex managed to pop one too as soon as he got to stand up tall on the booth counter.  They picked a huge inflatable bat for their prize.



Then they proceeded to beat each other, and me, and everyone else around with it.  Because what else do you do with a huge inflatable bat?


Logan on the wiggly worm ride.  She wanted to ride all by herself.

The rest of the kids all rode together.

It got pretty cold when the sun went down.  I had bought two of these hats.  They are based on the little bear cubs from the movie Brave.  I thought that the boys would think they were cool, since they were black and from the movie, but Connor took one look at it and swore he would never wear it.  So I ended up with it on my head instead.
