Scarecrow Festival

We went to the Scarecrow Festival last Thursday. Fall Break had started and the kids needed something to do since school was out. We had a fun time along with Shelly, Debbie and Janice and their kids. The kids enjoyed the blow-up slides and obstacle courses. Then we went on to kiddie games and pedal cars. I actually had to push the cars through the course for my kids because their legs weren't long enough... talk about a workout. Whew!! Then mine and Janice's kids sat in the Highway Patrol helicopter. Tye was being a bit hesitant, then asked me, "Will they bring me back?" I actually hated bursting his bubble having to tell him he wasn't going for a ride! Then it was off to the races... no not really, but they rode the ponies and we finished the day with face paintings. I only had enough money left to let Rachel and Kaden do it. Tye told me he didn't even want his face painted, but when we were leaving his Aunts asked him why he didn't get his face painted like his brother and sister. He said (with a BIG frown, I might add), "My mom didn't have enough money for me." Oh my-- break your heart! I was about ready to scrounge through my wallet and find $2 in pennies for the poor child. It turns out he really wasn't as heart broken as it seemed... Thank goodness!

KIDS + FUN = SUCCESS!
