Fall Festival

While Saturday dawned very cold, the sunny but breezy day set the perfect tone for an afternoon at John Knox and the Fall Festival.

Each year I take the girls (in their costumes) to the fall festival held at John Knox. They love it.

Upon arriving, the girls headed straight for the games.

 Pick the lucky Lollipop was the first. Madison won a stuffed elephant, Lillian just wanted the lolli.

 Lillian did quite well at the bean bag toss, she got everyone in the hole :)

 Madison seemed to have the knack for tossing the bags, too.

 Next Lillian played the clothes pin game. She had to hold the clothes pin to her nose and then drop it in the jar. She thought it was a lot of fun.

 Cupcake penny toss was next in line.

 Lillian preferred placing the pennies in the trays instead of throwing them.

 Moving on to the ring toss and horse roping.

 Lillian was all about the prize at the end. (This time she picked a rainbow tattoo)

 Have you ever seen a monkey hula hoop? Now you have!

 After a quick lunch of hot dogs and applesauce, the girls raced to the bounce house. They spent the next 45 minutes having a grand time.

 Our little monkey enjoyed being bounced around, she was never on her feet for more then a second.

 Chatting with Josh about "nanas". Every monkey loves a good banana.

 It did not seem to matter how many times Lillian fell down, she always had a giggle and smile.

 The two sisters jumping away.

 Down again!

 They tried holding on but it didn't seem to help.

 Silly faces! Can you see the monkey?

 Much better, just jumping with sisie.

 Cowgirl Madi bouncing away.

 "Help me stand up, Nana"

 "No, I hold on"  Jump jump jump!

 Nana's little cow girl.

 Crawling back in. Just a few more bounces before it was time to leave.

 Bounce house boo boos. By the third bump on the head, we knew it was time to go.

 Thanks Nana for taking us to the fall festival. We had a great time.

Let's do it again next year!
