Circleville pumpkin festival

We went to a pumpkin festival in Circleville it was interesting I was surprised at how many people were there it was difficult to push the strollers through. We met some friends up there Ashley & Jeremy and there kids, it was difficult to find them at first. We did not know what to expect because we have never been there before, but basically it was big fair with giant pumpkins the biggest one was 1300 lbs can you believe that! Braxton was kinda grumpy and wanted to run around all over the place, which did not help so we pretty much had to strap him in the stroller! He got used to it and we had a good time his favorite part was the parade that we were not going to stay for but it started on out way out so we watched for a little while, he loved watching the cars go by are the any surprises about that!


This was giant pumpkin pie!
Brax & Dad by the third place pumpkin!
The 1st place was over 1300 lbs, the second place was 1145 lbs, the third place was over 1000.
This was before the ride started and they were still pretty excited about it!

Braxs looking around at everything at the fair.

A view of the pumpkin tree and all the gourds and pumpkins they had!

Brax likes pumpkins, he wanted to see the "really big pakins"

So we are pretty much some of the meanest parents ever! Brax really wanted to go on this and it did not look that bad we thought it would be a lot slower, well we let him go on it with cambri and it pretty much terrified both of the them. I don't know if he will ever go on a roller coaster again. He made it around twice before he started bawling and the guy had to stop it and let him and cambri both off! Then he called it the scary dragon! Brax is not in this video I did not think to get a video of him while he was in it, kev thought to get it after and show you how fast this little dragon coaster was, I think brax might have shaken baby syndrome now!
