Note to parents: Safari Lake Geneva is awesome! SB had a blast feeding buffalo, zebu, goats, and ostrich. Plus we were able to see antelope and zebras! While we happened to go on a cool, rainy day, the animals were active and came right up to our cart for a snack. The owner told us there will be more baby animals in the spring- so make sure to check it out!
After the safari, we stopped for some pumpkins, gourds and apple cider. Gotta love fall in Wisconsin! This past weekend we finally had a chance to carve our pumpkins, and toast some pumpkin seeds. Before the pumpkins were even on the kitchen table, SB was already asking if we could toast pumpkin seeds.
We thought we'd pass along a few recipes for different pumpkin seed seasonings. SB prefers savory over sweet pumpkin seeds, so we season ours with cumin, garlic powder and a sprinkle of sea salt. Rebecca lobbied hard for pumpkin pie flavored, but was voted down. Oh well. Please give them a try and let us know how they are!
This link from Pillsbury gives directions on how to roast pumpkin seeds, as well as some delicious seasoning ideas. Let us know which one you like best!
Here are our finished pumpkins! We ended up with a Harry Potter pumpkin, and an Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Show us your pumpkins- let us know what kind of creative ideas your little ones came up with!
Stay Cool,
The Cool Dads Crew
