The Great Pumpkin festival at the Desert Botanical Gardens

This weekend between demo and halloween celebrations, we went to the desert botanical gardens for their Pumpkin Festival. We got there right at 8:30 and it was perfect. When we left at 10AM they were PACKED. My favorite was of course the fact that we picked two 35 lb pumpkins and I had to walk one to the car, while Andrew and the kids snacked, and bring the stroller back...for the second pumpkin. We also got to play some of the games.

Waiting to get in.
