Fall Festival Fun

I took the kids to large park where they had a fall festival in late September.  They had games, bouncy house, pumpkin painting, and cookies.  The kids had a great afternoon, but were worn out when we got home.  It was a BEAUTIFUL and warm afternoon.
Svea so focused on her painting! 
I love it when Kieran sticks his little tongue out when he is concentrating.  Svea did this too when she was younger, but doesn't anymore.  My mom did catch her one day opening and closing her mouth as she cut with a scissors!  Hilarious! 
Riding the train!  They sat so nice together and I was so impressed didn't fight.  Kieran got to drive at first and then she did.  I don't know how they worked it out, but they did and I was proud of them.  
Look at that smile! 
There was a hay bale maze, which the kids thought was pretty cool too.  So fun to just watch them explore and be excited!  There was a small little animal zoo too with bunnies and a goat. Kieran loved the looking at the animals and enjoyed pointing at them all and naming them one by one. My favorite thing about fall are these beautiful and warm days when the leaves are just starting to turn color.
 
To round out the rest of our fall festivities the kids and I headed to an organic pumpkin patch north of town and cut our own pumpkins off the vine.  It was a good educational experience too.  Svea also got to go to another pumpkin patch with her preschool class.  Gaga drove down to go with her. They had cold, rain, and crazy wind, but the kids had fun!  Thank you Gaga for going with her on the "bus".  She was so excited for that and to take you with her!
 
If we were from the south I'd say "Happy Fall Y'all"!  I guess I did say it.  I like it.  I think I'll keep it.
