Yesterday after pumpkin picking we went to the Waterville Harvest Fest, where we ran into Kate's best friend from preschool, Julia, her little brother Benjamin, and their mom Kate.
Emily's preschool buddy Nicholas was also there with his mom, but at first Emily didn't recognize him because we were all bundled up so much from the cold.
There were lots of fun things to try, like pumpkin bowling....
...where you had to try to knock down the soda bottles at the end of this chute.
Kate's pumpkin didn't roll very far, but Mama got off a good one. Notice her foot kicked up on the follow-through (think she's very competitive?).
Kate thought she might like to try a pony ride, but when the pony was ready she chickened out and ran away.
There were some goats to pet and feed, but they were a little bit intimidating too.
Emily was worn out from our earlier pumpkin picking adventure and didn't really want to participate in the Harvest Fest, but that changed when she saw the hayride, pulled by a real John Deere!
Riding through the downtown streets of Waterville behind a tractor was the highlight of the Festival for the kids.
