It is a Berndsen Family tradition to attend the Minges Pumpkin Festival in the Fall each year. We were excited to go this year to look for new decorations and accessories for our new home, though we were surprised to learn how much Elliana wanted to buy!
First she begged me for the hot ear of steamed corn with butter. Given I was a little hungry, I surely wasn't going to deprive her of some vegetables! After that was gone, she kicked for some funnel cakes, which by the way both T.J. and I have to agree were by far the best funnel cake we have ever had! It was extra thick and crispy and we seriously discussed going back for another one. But...we don't want to spoil her (not yet anyway) so we decided against it.
After browsing a few more craft tents and discussing a few potential purchases, she began moving about everytime we passed the Homemade Root Beer and Kettle Corn stand. Thinking it was just a fluke, we waited in the long line and sure enough she kicked the entire time. So, being the good parents we are trying to be...we bought some of that too.
Overall, this past weekend was a new experience for us at the Minges Pumpkin Festival. We are already looking forward to going again next year and actually watching her experience it all for the first time, rather than just feeling her experience it from within my belly. This past weekend was the first time that we have ever attended, and only purchased food. As I like to say, it has to be Elliana, because I know I never ate this much before I met her :)
