Fall Festival Fun

Over the weekend we got to kick off some Halloween fun with 2 fall festivals.  Who doesn't love a fall festival?!  I love fall, Halloween and all the fun stuff that comes with it.  The girls were so excited to finally get to put on their Halloween costumes!  This year we have 3 wild animals...just like real life, right!?!  Cohen is a raccoon, Kate is a cheetah, and Bryce, our little stinker, is a skunk.  They all look absolutely adorable to me.  Before we headed to our first fall festival on Saturday I wanted to get a picture of the 3 of them in costume.

You may be wondering where the individual picture of Kate is?  Well at this point she had ran off to find acorns and wanted no part of another picture.  I will have to work on getting one of her later!  I love her costume so its going to happen.  I feel bribery with candy coming on.
We were now ready to make our way to Gainesville to fall festival #1.  Our Aunt Vicki is in charge of the fall festival at her church each year and we try to make it there if we can.  This year it worked out that we could go so we went to the festival for about an hour and then had a visit at Grannie and Papa's house.  The girls each played all the games, took a hay ride, and stopped by the petting zoo.  This was actually the only thing Kate could focus on!

Bryce was mesmerized by the tractor while we were having our hay ride.  

After we left Grannie and Papa's, we headed to the BBQ chicken supper in Bold Springs.  We always look forward to this!  The girls love to do the cake walk and the chicken is some of the best you will ever have!  They do this twice a year and we look forward to it both times!

Fall festival #2 came on Sunday night and it was our church's festival.  I look forward to this every year!  Everyone comes out for a hotdog supper, games for the kids, a hayride, cake walk, and trunk-or-treat.  My Sunday school class was in charge of the photo booth so we had a good time trying out the props before everything got started!

We were doing good to all sit here much less use props

The girls were in heaven!  Kate was in the jump house, Cohen was all about the hay ride, both girls were cake walking.  It was really just so much fun for everyone.  Trunk-or-treat was the last thing and there were some super cute trunks!  Nat and Shawn was my favorite with the "Little Red Riding Hood" theme.  Nothing beats a wolf dressed like grandma in the back!  Brad & Erin had a great one too and I think their's really caught Kate's attention most of all!  You had to get your candy by sticking your hand in the monster's mouth and there was someone behind that mouth that really just threw Kate all off!  She kept asking us to get the candy for her.  We were laughing so hard at her.  It was really cute.  I love love love these fun family events.  It was a great "Halloween" weekend for us and with us going to the GA/Florida game next weekend it was our main Halloween weekend with the kids!
