Fall Festival

It's that time of year again! Wonderful Husband's office throws a festival for families twice a year. There is live music, free food, games, and more.

After going through the obstacles, Sweet Daughter is ready to go down the slide.

A tattoo of a jet for Sweet Son.

There is even a hay bale maze. There is an interesting story here. For the first time in her life, Sweet Daughter broke away from us without permission and ran into the maze. She had no idea what was just around the corner.

It's a Scary Scarecrow! He was jumping out to scare the big kids as they were going through the maze. He had no idea a small child was coming and did his job. Sweet Daughter started screaming and crying. A year later and she still talks about the Scary Scarecrow. He felt awful. He tried apologizing, but she wasn't going anywhere near that maze much less him. Sweet Son loves being scared, but the poor Scarecrow was too upset to really scare Sweet Son at that point. We left with two upset kids.

To help everyone get back to their happy place, we played some of the games. They won prizes, got balloons, and ate dinner.

They also had an area set up to make art. This year each child got to decorate a plate that became artwork in a local soup kitchen. This was great! The kids got to make a project and not bring it home. Trust me, we came home with so many great prizes we didn't need anything else.
