Fall Fun

Since we have lived here, we have made a few traditions. One of those traditions is attending our city's Fall Festival. It is small, but we always have a good time. The girls look forward to going and spending their own $5 on the various activities and crafts. We usually look at all of the booths first and then the girls decide what to spend their money on.

-- We all did the Cake Walk this year. Normally, it is just Andy and Emily (who won the first year we went). Today, we decided to increase our odds of winning by all being in the circle. Eliana got picked to draw the number out of the bucket. Andy was on the winning number when the music stopped, but decided to move to the number next to it. So Eliana drew another number that wasn't any of ours.

-- Emily and Eliana used their own money to get their faces painted.



-- Eliana decided to spend the rest of her money on making her own sand bottle even though she already has two other ones at home from past festivals.

-- Emily used the rest of her money to buy a mini horse calendar, play a round of miniature golf (which she got a ball into the hole), and buy a snow cone.

-- Eliana pouted the rest of the time because she wanted to buy a snow cone, but couldn't because she had spent the rest of her money already on the sand bottle.

-- Sarah just had fun being outside.



-- I had the worst burger I have ever had in my life. It didn't taste like beef at all. Andy had some pretty good bbq nachos.

-- We met up with some friends and let the girls play on the playground for a while. We went on a hike through the woods near the playground.

By the time we got home, we were so worn out that we all took naps. It was a great day!
