We went to Gerten's Annual Fall Pumpkin Festival on Sunday to get some carving pumpkins. They had an endless patch of pumpkins, a straw maze, face painting and animals. There was a reindeer, a white whitetail deer, a tortoise and a bull calf. It was sort of a chilly day, but we had fun. 
Louie really liked the straw maze, he could run and run and run and we couldn't see where he
We went to Assumption's 150th Anniversary Oktoberfest Celebration on Sunday afternoon. It was so much fun! There was face painting, a pumpkin walk, beer, rootbeer, a huge polka band and lots of food. Emily and Louie had a blast! The kids got their faces painted when we first got there, Lou wasn't too sure about that.
Emily didn't care. Then Dan and Emily won a punkin in the pumpkin walk. Emily was so proud of herself! There was a guy with one of those organ grinder music box things, he didn't have a monkey though?? 
After we ate, Emily was intrigued by the HUGE polka band and wanted to dance. So, she grabbed Louie and they went and danced. He wasn't fast enough for her so she found a better dance partner a little later. 
We were very tired when we got home and went straight to bed. It was a great celebration!
