The 3rd of October is German Unification Day.  We decided that we'd head off to a palace in a neighboring city, to visit their Fall Fair with the annual Pumpkin Exhibits.

 Here is the Palace in Ludwigsburg (Blühendes Barock in Ludwigsburg).

There were pumpkins everywhere - the paths were lined with pumpkins.  Here are some of the larger pumpkin creations.  This years theme if you haven't caught on yet was Swizterland.

Every possible sort of pumpkin was also set up on display waiting to be bought by the crowd.

There were some rather creative pumpkin sculptures.  The picture of Ashlyn in the middle pointing at a sculpture is the best picture we got of her all day.

Sydney's favorite part of the day was the hay.  There was an area set up for kids of all ages to play in.  Ashlyn was very unsure, but Syd loved it.  The middle picture of Sydney and David is my favorite picture from the whole day, the expressions are priceless.
