It was Pumpkin Fest weekend in Zeeland! This is such a great weekend and we love going downtown for all the festivities and seeing all the pumpkin displays. We headed down on Friday night prepared for some fun, some junk food and some laughter. It was a cold night, but we were not disappointed. It was awesome!
We started with the pumpkin run. They lined up around the park and ran into the park to grab their pumpkins. It was so fun to watch them run. Abby had her eye on "just the right" pumpkin, while Grace just ran around with everyone else. She's lucky she ended up with a pumpkin. They were tiny, but still very cute.
Then we headed over to the area where the Critter Barn is set up. Most of our time was spent there. Here's Abby gobbling at the turkeys. Every time she made a gobbling noise, they gobbled right back! It was hilarious to watch.
There were bunnies to hold....
pigs to watch....
chickens to hold.....
mama chickens to squeeze....
and donkeys to ride!
Yep, the Critter Barn is always a big hit with the kids!
Then we headed further downtown where they were painting pumpkins. The local bank provides pumpkins and paint for the kids. When we got there, the pumpkins were all gone, but there was plenty of paint. We grabbed our little pumpkins from the Pumpkin Run and painted those. (And of course we also painted our hands, our jackets, our arms, etc.)
We ended the night with some cotton candy and chili cheese fries. YUM! The sugar hit the system quickly and there was giggling all around. It was a perfect evening!
