We didn’t go last year, as I know for a fact we were recovering from a certain well known bier festival taking place at the same time – but we went a couple of years ago, and it was so beautiful <\/a>we thought we would go for another gander…<\/p>\n

Let me warn you now that if you are of a sensitive disposition in terms of exactly how large your pregnant belly is\u00a0(makes mental note to keep mouth shut on the size of pregnant women in the future, people really do say some odd things – plus even more annoyingly it seems they can’t make their minds up – I am either too big, or too small!!)\u00a0visiting a Pumpkin festival might not be such a good idea (there will<\/strong> be lots of jokes about pumpkin smuggling, and entering you for the biggest pumpkin award, I can tell you that now!)…<\/p>\n

Keeping a zen like cool on size of pregnant belly comments perhaps??\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I did have to laugh as I was greeted with this almost soon as we arrived, and being the current size that I am, we compared bellies (I think he’s expecting twins or even triplets however!)…<\/p>\n

As I have said before, this kind of thing is something the Bavarian’s do extremely well, so it’s well worth the slight trek out of town should you happen to be here for the other kind of festival that they also do very well… Incidentally should you be looking for the most gorgeous venue <\/a>for a Bavarian Wedding or other sort of celebration, I think this place might just be ideal!<\/p>\n

And this year we made sure we went home with another Spaghetti squash! \u00a0But unlike last time we knew what to do with it (roast it and mash it with plenty of butter, black pepper and Parmesan!)…<\/p>\n
