Riley's 1st Circus!

My cousin Ashley, Riley and I went to the Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival today and had a GREAT time! The place was absolutely huge. They had a crafts fair, lots of other booths, a corn and pumpkin cannon, hay rides, entertainers and even a CIRCUS! We got there around 2:00 pm and we walked around the whole place checking out the sites. We checked out the hay ride but the line was really, really long so we decided against trying that out. haha. The circus started at 3:45 and we figured it'd be a chance to sit and rest and feed Riley. We really weren't expecting much. Boy were we surprised! They had performing horses, a couple of jugglers (one of which was 8 yrs old!), a little girl that was a contortionist (oh.my.god. she couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 yrs old), a family of three that performed a juggling act (the dad juggled objects with his FEET that his wife threw to him AND he juggled his daughter!). There was even a hula hooper girl that I swear to God, performed a real life version of the Wii Fit hula hooping. She had to have managed about 20 hoops around her waist. The were all thrown to her from outside the ring. She raised her arms and the hoops joined the ones currently spinning around her. Twice there were 4 thrown at the same time and she kept hula hooping! We were very, very impressed. Riley got to taste her first snow cone while we were there too. All in all, it was worth  every penny. Be warned, there are a LOT of pictures. haha. Enjoy!

Riley couldn't get enough of this cornhusk leaf. It was pretty funny.
