Fall Festival

Each year Sarah's school puts on a Fall Festival for the kids.  There are lots of activities for both the kids, food and best of all it's pretty cheap!  The first thing Sarah wanted to do was get her face painted!  It's the only time she gets to have her face painted  . . . so she chose carefully . . . a beautiful unicorn!

Caleb wanted to go on a hay ride . . .

There was also a straw maze . . . both kids wanted to try. 

I thought no way would Sarah go in there because it was small, dark & dirty,

but I figured Caleb would love it!

This reminded me of a time when I was a little girl and Uncle Andy made a straw maze in our barn . . . that's a story for another day!

Well I was completely wrong - Caleb made it the length of about 3 straw bales and then wouldn't move!  Sarah on the other hand LOVED it!  What a big girl!

Cute kids waiting ever so patiently in line for a bounce house.

They love the bounce house - Sarah made it the entire way & Caleb gave it a great effort, but Daddy had to finally rescue him.  This ladder was just a little tough for him, but I bet next year he'll zoom through!

This was Sarah's other favorite activity - the dunk tank!  She talked about it all night and kept a close eye on when the principal, Mr. Blakely, would be in the tank.  She didn't hit the target, but snuck up afterwards and pushed the target and dunked him anyway!  He was a great sport with all the kids!

Caleb loved the fishing stand!

Remember the beautiful unicorn. .  it lasted and lasted . . . I think for 3 days. . .

she wouldn't even let me wash it off!
