October Festivities... Fall Festivals

We went to 3 fall festivals this year.  They were alot of fun!  The first was at Evangel (which is the church that we got married in)  Nathan had to work this day so it was me and the kiddos.  It was alot of fun and worth taking them by myself. 

The girls played games... and there were a ton of jumpy things. I have to say it was very organized and well put together and they had a TON of people there.





So I kept seeing a whole bunch of kids throwing hay around and I had no idea what they were doing... At first I was thinking maybe they were making scarecrows??? I said something about it and Taylor said "they are looking for candy mommy!" LOL Ohhh... and all these kids loved this!  How simple!  Digging for candy in hay!





The girls, mainly Taylor kept begging me to go on this HUGE slide.  I kept distracting them with other activities because they line was really long the whole time.  I was afraid that they wouldn't go up it by themselves and I couldn't go with them.  There was no way being pregnant that I could carry Jackson up that thing and I definately couldn't leave him alone.  So at the end the line was short enough and they had asked me a 100 times.  But to my surprise their scaled that thing with no problem and LOVED it!  That is our girls climbing up the slide and I had to show how big this thing is.... it's one of the biggest blow up slides I've seen.



The next fall festival was at our church on Sunday and that was alot of fun!  We are still getting to know people and this was a great way to do that.  Our church meets on Sunday evening because they are using another churches building.  They bought some property and the fall festival was at the new church property.  It is a really pretty piece of land.  They had a ton of games and activities for the kids. 


Girls getting their hand or face painted... this was the first time Taylor would do this. :)




Decorating cookies... all the kids loved this! 






On Halloween we went to a local church festival.  I do have to say that they weren't as organized as Evangel but it was nice and they had a HUGE turn out.  The girls wore their princess dresses and I did their hair and makeup.  They loved it, we called it their princess make over!
