Fun Fall Festival

Etta,Gibson and I had a really busy Friday and it turned out we had tons of fun. Every Friday we get together with a small group of moms and children for a Music Makers class. We play songs, instruments and parachute. Etta loves it and Gibby is starting to bounce to the music. After music makers we grabbed some lunch and headed down to Thanksgiving Point to their Scarecrow Festival. We met up with my friend Sara and her daughter Anni who is Etta's age.
We went to the barn yard first and saw all the cows, chickens, ponies and ducks. It was all decked out with Halloween decorations. Inside the Scarecrow festival were tons of activities. There were fun carnival games for kids like throwing balls at the ghost mouth and throwing plastic chickens inside a witches cauldron.
They had huge blow up slides (which were Etta's and Anni's favorite). Every time they slide down it was "do again, do again". One time I had Gibby on the front pack so all three of us slide down the big slide.
They had a pumpkin patch that Etta loved and sat on top of almost all the pumpkins. There was a fishing booth and fun characters to take your pictures with. We ended the fun activity with a horse drawn wagon ride. Etta just sat really still at first and then as we started passing animals she was trying to see every one. The girls had so much fun I just wish Andy could have been with us.

Etta loved jumping and laughed when she would fall down.

Gibson even loved sliding down the big slide once but Etta had to keep going.

I don't know why there was a train picture but we took a couple of shots with the train. Gibson cracks me up with this little smile.

Then came pictures with the pirates. And of course one with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Pumpkin patch, who wants a pumpkin Etta sat on?

Fishing booth and Etta's treasures a chicken mask, witches finger and a play watch. ( I loved these when I was little)
