Fall Festival

We went to a couple fall festivals this year.  I miss going to a real pumpkin patch or corn maze, but this is a close second.  The kids wore costumes they could find around the house.

The kids participated in a potato sack race, and also a couple friendly rounds of dodgeball.  We stayed longer so they could do the limbo competition.  Penelope is a pro and can get down to two feet.  But when it came time for the limbo the workers were letting people bend forward and letting their knees touch the ground.  Everyone was able to get very low.  My kids were upset about that.  

The craft area was fun.

They had a few photo spots, of course all the big kids wanted a picture in front of the scary one.

Tucker wanted to dye his hair brown so he would look more like Anakin and less like someone from Harry Potter, so we had to hurry and do that the morning of the festival.  I didn't get any pictures but the same night we had our ward Halloween activity.  The youth were in charge and they set up some cute carnival games and we did a trunk-or-treat, Tucker and a couple of the young men made a pretty fun and scary haunted walk through area.  It had scary music, a strobe light and even a fog machine.  It was pretty cool.

I love Halloween, but it is a lot sometimes.  I'm ready to take down our decorations for a couple weeks before we get out our Christmas things.
