not your typical harvestival

All fall we've been looking forward to attending Harvestival! It's a fall event sponsored by Grant Family Farms, the CSA (community supported agriculture) we've been members of this year. We paid in advance in the spring and each week for six months we've had mouth-watering local, fresh, organic veggies and fruit delivered to our neighborhood pick-up location. It has also saved on shopping time and packaging. We have really loved being a part of this and the food is incredible! The Harvestival was a big event where we could visit the farm, listen to live tunes, and the kids could pick pumpkins.
However. . . . we were hit this year with an early blizzard--smack dab on the weekend of the event! But we insanely decided to brave it anyway. Kristen was visiting the same weekend and came along (she was a godsend to help out with the boys!). The boys ADORE their Oma. They followed her around like puppies all weekend. Tractor/hay bale ride through a wintery wonderland Pumpkin patch??? Lincoln could have stayed all day at the petting zoo, even if his toes froze. Well, you can't say we're not adventurous! But we might have to hit another fall event later in the month. It wasn't quite the same . . .
