Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival

This Saturday we set of on Kern Family Adventure to the Great Pocono Pumpkin Festival in Pennsylvania. We don't get a chance to do things like this very often, so we were all excited. The drive through the Delaware Water Gap (where the Delaware River divides New Jersey and Pennsylvania) was beautiful, though only about 25% of the leaves had changed so far. The fair was fun--pumpkins, a carnival, a hayride, a corn maze, petting zoo, games, food, etc. Dave and I loved the hayride, but Emma's favorite was the chickens. That's right--she didn't like the bunnies, the cute alpacas, even the adorable baby chicks--but she loved the regular ol' chickens. Who knew?
