Morton Pumpkin Festival

Morton, the pumpkin capital of the world, well at least the pumpkin capital of central Illinois, has an annual pumpkin festival – classic carnival rides, crafts, and lots of pumpkin food. It was a rainy night, but the pumpkin food and frozen apple cider slushes were great! Donita and Leonard joined us and we all had a great laugh watching Rion try to navigate the fun house mirror maze. Owen took off without his brother who promptly walked into all of the walls. That didn’t slow him down (unfortunately) he kept running right into them! J - N

I went to a pumpkin fest. There were lots of stuff at the Morton Pumpkin Festival. My friends Donita and Leonard went there with us. It was awesome. There were bumper cars me and Rion rode in together. And, there was a house with mirrors where you had to get to the stairs and you had to get upstairs and go down the slide and Rion hit his head on that one. And, we got to eat some of the pumpkin funnel cake and drink apple cider. Done – Owen
We went on a ride that was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so bumpy. And there was a curve that went kind of curved. We went to a slide where you had to get through a big mirror that was so hard because there was this black glass that you never want to get because you’ll be stuck in there. I ate pumpkin donuts and I ate pumpkin ice cream and I got to have apple cider slush. Done. – Rion
