The Pumpkin and Chili Festival

During the month of October I helped my Mom make ice cream at Schnepf Farms for their Pumpkin and Chili Festival. We had a lot of fun making the ice cream! Carrie Schnepf surprised us with complimentary tickets and wristbands and food vouchers to use at the Festival. So we took all the boys and made a day of it the first of November. Here are a few of the highlights.

Warning: There are alot of pictures!

Here is Carson in the pumpkin field. Carrie let us take as many pumpkins as we wanted since it was the day after Halloween. So the boys picked out lots of pie pumpkins and that kept me busy for a whole day making the pumpkin puree.

Believe it or not, this is how Devin wanted to pose for a picture. He is actually really happy and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

The boys were begging to play mini golf. They thought that they were truly pros by the end. We lost a few golf balls, but luckily, we were able to find a few as well.

Here are a few pictures of the swing ride. The went on this ride for a few times.

Here is Caleb. It looks like his head is going to fall off!

And here is Calvin.

We also went to the rock climbing wall. My brother, Jared, was in charge of that ride. He worked at the Farm during the Festival.

Ashton loved to climb the wall!

Devin had to be big like all the other boys! He actually did pretty good.

The three older boys and Ben rode the roller coaster. It may be a little one, but that thing has a kick! Calvin and Carson are sitting in the front seat.

Here you can see Ben and Caleb in the back and then Calvin and Carson in the front.

I think that Calvin had his mouth open the whole time!

Devin rode next to me on the bumblebee ride. He loved every part of the day!

Ashton was mad in this picture because he wanted to ride the bee by himself and didn't want Ben sitting next to him.

Calvin thought that he was so big because he could ride the bee by himself.

The carosel was the first ride that the boys went on. They were all excited!

You can tell that Ashton just can't hold in the excitement! :)

Calvin was patiently saiting for the Carosel to start.

We were the only ones riding, which was fun.

I thought that it looks like Ben has a earring in this picture from the ring by the horses head.

I don't know, maybe it was just my imagination.

This is how Caleb rides the Carosel horse!

Look at those smiles!

Caleb and Carson had a blast!

We went on a train ride around the farm.

Here is a picture of Ben and Calvin with Caleb in the back.

Thanks Schnepf Family!
