Ten Things you can do at a Giant Pumpkin Regatta

My mom and I took the kids to a giant pumpkin festival. So what exactly do you do at a giant pumpkin weigh off and regatta?

1. Look at the winning 1,464.5 lb pumpkin of course.

2.  Watch pumpkins launch into the river with catapults.

3.  Eat very yummy fried dough.

4.  You wait a very long, but worth while wait, for face painting.

 5.  You sit very still while the paint brush tickles your face.

6. Act like a puppy, tiger and monkey.

7. Watch as giant pumpkins get turned into very creative boats to float in a race down the river.

 8.  Pick your favorite pumpkin boat...all three kids liked Harry Potter best.

9.  Wait out a two minute rainstorm and get to see not only a parade but a rainbow as well.

10.  Spend quality time with people you love dearly.

What a wonderful way to spend the day.
