Fall Festival & The Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we went to a Fall Festival put on by a local church. It was on a couple acres of property behind the church and filled with fun things to do, and everything was free. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, a game section, clowns, a moon bounce, a rock climbing wall, a hay maze, face painting and crafts. They also had balloons for the kids, hot dogs, soda, popcorn and treats. Laneah had a lot of fun running around. Her favorite place was the game section and the bubbles. We let her ride on a pony, but she got a little scared. It turns out that she didn't want to ride on the pony, she just wanted to pet it.

Laneah loved the game section where they had mini bowling, mini basketball, a tunnel, hula hoops and other games just right for a pint size person.

Laneah is still young, so we decided to get her arm painted instead of her face. She got a pretty pink, yellow and purple butterfly. After we had a yummy lunch of hot dogs and chips we had to take Laneah home for her nap. When she woke up we went to the pumpkin patch to get some pumpkins. We went to one of the local farms where the had rows and rows of pumpkins, lots of hay, scarecrows and some farm animals.
The first thing Laneah did was run up to the pumpkins and tried to pick one up.

They had some forts made of corn husks that had openings on both sides. It was big inside and there were two barrels of hay in there to sit on. Laneah was running in and out and thought it was a really fun fort.
All of us in the fort.

They had these cute little wagons to put your pumpkins in and Laneah liked to push the wagon. We ended up with three great pumpkins and we are going to carve and decorate them for FHE tonight. It was a packed, but fun day.
