fall festival

As a family we don't celebrate Halloween. Every year instead, growing up, we did a fall festival. We had a big family/ home school group that participated growing up. The last couple years my Aunt Nancy has been kind of hosting it herself. So this year I decided to revamp and and hopefully reinvigorate the festival. This year I set up all the games and had each family bring prizes for a game and one member of the family hosted the game. We ended up putting Joe, James, Rachel (she created her own obstacle course), my mom, Uncle Matt, Aunt Nancy, and then all the parent "volunteers" on games. It was really fun we had several throwing games, walk of colors, bingo, ring toss,mystery box, a few other games..., pumpkin painting, tattoo station (we didn't have any artistic volunteers for face painting) and a food station with hot fresh popcorn and decorate you own cookies. I think everyone one had lots of fun.

when the festival is over we all share a potluck meal. William was wiped and couldn't keep his eyes open any more. This year Rachel set up an obstacle course. At the end of the day it was a huge hit. Here Charity is taking her turn.
