Pumpkin Festival Fun

A few highlights from my trip to Sarasota's 21st Annual Pumpkin Festival...
Pumpkins, Pumpkins everywhere!

Goose Gourds...So sweet and appealing!
My nephew, Nicolas and his friend Michaela, acquiring shaved ice snowcones from a local vendor.

Strawberry delight snowcone in purple flower cupholder.
Randy's famous Kettle Korn

Placid and docile owl, extremely splendid.

Encountering new friends.

Beautifully knitted caps and handmade flower adornments.


My day could not have been more flawless, as I embraced the day enjoying glorious weather,  family and friends and the ever so fun task of selecting the perfect Jack -O-Lantern pumpkin. 
Our evening was magnificently as fun as we enjoyed an amazing meal cooked by Michaela's family and last but certainly not least, Kala's fantastic home-made chocolate, peanut butter cheesecake.  YUMMMM!
