There were a lot of awesome activities within their little Fall Festival: camel rides, pig races, roasted corn and mini-donut stands, a place to slingshot mini-pumpkins, a maze made out of hay bales, an exotic petting zoo with baby camels and ox, deer from India, a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zeedonk\">zeedonk<\/a>, these little mini deer things that I forget the name of, ostrich, lion cubs(these we couldn&#8217;t pet, dagnabbit).

It&#8217;s good exercise running through those kernels and you&#8217;d never have to worry about running out of popcorn!<\/p>\n<p>On our way home we stopped at the only Cracker Barrel in Minnesota. Mm-mm. I had me some grilled trout. Kat had herself some fried shrimps. We both partook in the cornbread and macaroni and cheese. A satisfying, warm country meal.<\/p>\n<p>We got back to my place and brought out the pumpkins we picked the week before from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emmakrumbees.com\/EmmaKrumbees_upick_pumpkins.htm\">Emma Krumbee&#8217;s Pumpkin Patch<\/a>.

Still, I am curiously addicted to them; eating some now, in fact. After Kat left, I had one more pumpkin to carve. I started poking holes in it with a carving tool. I wanted to make a pumkin planetarium projector!!! I lasted for all of two holes before I broke out my power drill and finished the job before you could say, &#8220;Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!&#8221; Ladies and gents, behold my planet&#8230;arium!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.joshlewis.org\/eddie\/archives\/planetarium2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.joshlewis.org\/eddie\/archives\/planetarium2-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"planetarium2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.joshlewis.org\/eddie\/archives\/planetarium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.joshlewis.org\/eddie\/archives\/planetarium-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"planetarium.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t quite project anything(besides the earthy smell of pumpkin guts).
