Fall Festival Fun!

The Fall Festival has become a tradition for our family and our good friends the Kisers.

Kiser Family

Every year Michael and Morgan have such a fun time running around and playing all the activities. Last year that baby sitting on Papa Kiser's lap, now a young toddler, was just a newborn and hiding in Mama's sling the entire time. This year I was the one with the infant in the sling. The Fall Festival has become such a fun marker of time's passing.

When I look back at the pictures of Fall Festivals years passed, I'm amazed at how the boys have grown. These next two pictures were Michael & Morgan two Festivals ago.


Now they're long and lanky little boys.

This year they had many of the same old activities we know and love and a few new ones too. They loved the water pump fueled by hand and wind mill. The boy's had a blast with it and didn't want to leave. But on we forged to see the rest of the festival.


A maze.The tractors buried in sand. Michael said "they have to fix those tractors".


The big slides. Papa and Michael must have gone down a dozen times.

And of course our favorite activity the hay ride to the pumpkin patch!

Michael had a great time looking at all the pumkins. And especially pointing out the ones that were decaying. Decay is a concept he learned on a PBS show and it's been one of his favorite words since.

My camera kept spotting all the pumpkin patch "fairies".

Another fun-filled festival!
