The Pumpkin Festival - October 2004



We had a blast taking a family trip to Prescott for the weekend in October. We were celebrating our five year anniversary along with my 28th birthday and we decided to hop in the car and head North. We researched the local happenings of Prescott before leaving town and found that the Pumpkin festival was going on. We stopped by there on our way to Prescott and really enjoyed oursevles. We will probably make this a yearly family outing. We enjoyed touring Young's Farm and taking a hayride. We sampled fresh cider, arizona wine, freshly fried potatoe chips, funnel cakes, BBQ sandwich, apple and pumpkin pies. I am combining what Ryan and I both ate (although you can imagine who ate most of it). Ryan was like a kid in a candy store and wanted a little bit of everything. They have fields of pumpkins that you can walk through and pick out your own. It was a very eventful day and we got some great pictures.

We went along to Prescott and enjoyed the Prescott Brewing Company for dinner. We really enjoyed the food there and Laurelle cooperated through dinner......until we went back to the hotel. She proceeded to keep us up most the night. She woke up hourly and we finally gave in and brought her to bed with us but that did little to help. The next morning we woke up exhausted but still managed to shop at the local antique stores and find a few interesting items.
