We try to have a Fall Fest at our house every year, but last year Hurricane Sandy had come through a few days before, and the year before that we were in Florida for my Mother in Law's 90th birthday. She is a Reformation Day baby!
This year rain was in the forecast so we prayed we wouldn't have to cancel it. It did rain a bit but not until later in the evening, so we were very happy.
There was a nice campfire, several fun hay rides in the farmer's fields, lots of good snacks and an Apple recipe contest and a Pumpkin recipe contest!
Here are the judges.
They had 3 pumpkin recipes to decide between and 4 apple recipes! They were suffering the whole time, poor things.
In the background you can see two of the pumpkin treats and the other was a pumpkin soup that you can't see because it was on the counter.
We had two new families join us which was so fun! One is a family that goes to the church my parents go to, and the wife is the sister of one of our church friends. It was so nice to have them and their young sons with us! The other family live very close by to us and the daughters work with my girls. They are a lovely family! I hope we get to spend more time with them.
Be looking for a fun giveaway announcement on Monday!
Happy November!

You guys know how to make it fun...contests...food, fellowship. Yes, I saw that Becky was suffering terribly. Ha!

What a fun time:) I love that idea! We have always gone to a Friend's house but not this year, we were out of town! Enjoy the beginning of a new month:) HUGS!
What a clever idea to have a Fall Fest, and a baking contest too. Congrats to the winners, and the poor judges were the real winners! All that yummy food to taste.
Oh, boy..I'd like to "suffer" like that.....hahhhaaaa....what fun.

It looks like such fun!! Oh, to be a judge at that pumpkin recipe contest...is there anything pumpkin that is not good? I love pumpkin!
What a fun event to have! Those poor poor judges :)
i could suffer a bit for a good cause. yum.

Sounds like a delightful evening! I like the food-judging idea, too. And I REALLY like pumpkin soup! I forgot all about it in October....Guess it's not too late.
