Pumpkin Fest

We had a very fun-filled Saturday. We started off the afternoon with a picnic with all the people at Dave's work in the same program as he is and their families. It was fun with good food and Benjamin had fun playing Corn Hole with another little boy, but my goodness was it cold!!!! We came home and let him get a nap (and warm up) and then went to Pumpkin Fest at our church. Thank goodness it wasn't nearly as cold and windy by then! We had a whole lot of fun! Benjamin got to go on his first hay ride, we had some yummy carmel apple sundays, and they had the kids break pumpkin pinatas. Benjamin didn't get to hit at it before it broke, but he had fun getting the loot! I was surprised by how he went into the chaos with all the other kids and got some prizes! You can see him with the black Purdue jacket on in the picture below!


After they were done breaking the pinata, Dave gave Benjamin the stick and let him hit the broken one.....which I think he enjoyed just as much! Dave was telling him to smile in this picture, but I told him he needed to keep his tough-man expression!!! He really enjoyed this activity!!! :)


Afterwards, Benjamin kept hanging out by the tree that had the pinatas hanging from them looking for more! I took the opportunity to try and get some cute pictures. Isn't my little Boilermaker adorable?????


Dave decided to get in on the action too!

It was really a fun day. They also had pumpkin carving and a bouncer thing. One of the big girls at church that likes Benjamin tried to get him to get it in with her and jump around, but he was too scared! It was still sweet to see! God has blessed us with a really awesome church family that we are really, really enjoying!
