Pumpkin Festival

Fall is really my favorite time of the year and in the US it was always really fun with pumpkins, apples and Halloween. I thought we might miss out on lots of things being in Austria, but that is not the case. 

I found a local pumpkin festival the other weekend and it turned out to be really cute. We got to pick pumpkins, eat pumpkin soup and pumpkin Schnitzel, the kids got to play games and make buttons. And you could have even carved a pumpkin, but we decided to take ours home and carve it at home (photos later).

My cute kids dressed up in their knitted sweaters and Austrian hats

Finn was concentrating hard

There was an obstacle course and you had to carry a pumpkin on a wooden spoon

Lilly too wanted to participate

Picking the right pumpkin

Finn liked them all

The big ones make great seats

They picked 5 little ones which are their favorite toy at home now


Pumpkins everywhere

Finn tried to pick them off

Also potatoes and other vegetables were shown

Hm, pumpkin soup

Hm, pumpkin Schnitzel

Special juice for the kids

And one more time through the course



And time to leave, last picture
