The Scarecrow Festival

I've never been to the scarecrow festival. It sounded fun. So I asked dad if he wanted to go and take the kids - he did. We met Jer there (since he works at Thanksgiving point and that is where it was). We had a blast!

Wyatt loved the tall slides, Romney hated them. Jer wasn't too excited about them either because he ended up taking Romney so the lines wouldn't be held up. I think they went on 4 or 5 blow up slides. The Shark was extremely hard to climb to the top of - Romney ended up not going, but the Castle was ok, and the others were too. One of them Jer held Rom on his lap and 'bumped' up and down all the way down the slide.
Clem and the kids stood in line for 30 minutes to get snow cones, only to have the machine break just as they got to the window. The only one really upset was Romney - but he got over it when we found a puppy to play with. Later, we did get the snow cones. All the kids were done halfway through theirs, but Romney wanted to finish his to the bitter end.
We came home tired, but happy - and the kids were hungry and couldn't wait to get happy meals. They ate most of it in the car. This will mostly be pictures - because a picture is worth a thousand words and these are great. Notice dad - he is just full of surprises!

When we were getting everyone into the car, Lizzy showed how she is just like her mom! I turned around to put her in her car seat and she had disappeared! I found her behind the wheel. She had turned on the headlights and would have started it if she could have found a key. - Look Familiar Judi?

The headless horseman greeted us on our way out of the parking lot - the kids were more interested in the horse than him.

There was music everywhere and the kids got into it. I think we may go again next year!

Who needs a trampoline when you've got a picnic table? Clem, I can't believe what a friendly looking skeleton you are, my kids loved it!

I can't believe that Lizzy would dance with dad when he looked so scary! You really looked the Scary Papa part with that face paint!

that's what i said Jon! Dad totally looked scary! Wyatt still has a little tinge of red on his face...he keeps asking me when i'm going to paint him....maybe he'll get black eyes to go with his batman costume.

You didn't tell me about Izzy trying to drive....scary, but can't say that I'm suprised. Just the other night I told Ryan about all the times I took your cars for a drive and all he could say was "We are in big, big trouble"
