The kids and I spent a long weekend back home in Illinois for our family's 2nd annual Pumpkin Fest
Great Grandpa took the kids on a hay ride around the yard, which served as the "opening ceremony" for the day.
Then there was bobbing for apples.
There was a pumpkin decorating station.
The "pop the balloon for a prize" station was complete with real darts! (brave uncle V manned that station)
The kids also got to take a whack at a piñata and enjoyed the treats it spilled.
The Great Gram Pumpkin made an appearance too, oddly enough with a dollop of whipped cream on her head, towards which the kids lobbed cheese balls.
Is that my child eating cheeseballs off of his Great Grandma's head?
Yes. Yes it is.
When the games were over, we all enjoyed a feast, drinks, and conversation while the kids spun about in their treat-induced frenzy squeezing whoopie cushions and hurling bouncy balls.
It was glorious.
Hope you had a great weekend too.
