Leevi was out of town last weekend and Scott had recent back surgery so Brandy and I braved an adventure with 6 girls to a pumpkin festival in Ludwigsburg about 1hr and 15 min away. It was definitely worth the drive and we all had a great time!
 |
| Each year the theme changes....in the past they've had Under the Sea, Outer Space, and Fairy Tales. We will definitely go back next year! |
 |
| We spent a lot of time here wandering around and eventually made it to the pumpkin section that was way bigger than we expected! |
 |
| Seeing this wedding reminded me of all of the weddings we saw at the KoOlina lagoons. We gave up try to convince the girls that this lady was NOT the princess that lives in that castle. |
 |
| They saw the wedding party do a jump picture and wanted to try it out themselves |
 |
| There is a contest every year for the largest pumpkin...on the last day of the festival, they smash the big pumpkins! |
We finally made it to the pumpkin section!!!! The "Kurbisaurs" (pumpkin dinosaurs) were really cool....the head/legs were carved from wood. This T-Rex even roared! The fest grounds were beautiful and the weather was absolutely gorgeous....a crisp, but sunny high 50's.

| T-Rex greeted us at the beginning of the festival |
 |
| I wonder if her light hair will last through the winter... |
 |
| They thought this baby dino was extra cute |
 |
| That pumpkin soup was amazing!!!!!! I'm not a big fan of German food but I haven't found one of their homemade soups that I didn't like! |
 |
| The Dozier ladies |
 |
| Of course there was a unique German park... |
 |
| Unfortunately, Kai found this water pump....she "waded" through a deep stream instead of following a rock path and I thought our day was going to be cut short but apparently those good ole Target boots are somewhat waterproof!!! She did think to hold her pants up though! |
 |
| The last thing we did was go on a boat ride with a Pinnochio theme...there was much more to see but we had underestimated the size of the festival and decided we should head back before any meltdowns! |
 |
| The girls wanted one of these baby pumpkins...Hailey searched and searched for the tiniest one...it's about the size of a golf ball. I got one of the "blue" pumpkins you see on the right. I forgot to take a picture of them before I uploaded my photos so I'll try to remember when we carve them. |
