Neighborhood Fall Festival

Today was our neighborhood fall festival and costume parade.  The kids were excited about dressing up again and getting to see all of their friends in their costumes too.  The morning started out really chilly, but thankfully it warmed up and everyone had a great time!

Parading around the playground

After parading around we enjoyed lots of sweets and got ready to watch the dad's potato sack race.  As usual, it was lots of entertainment as we watched them battle it out for first place.  There was actually some talk about whether or not Robby won because he was the first to cross the finish line standing up (others took a fall/leap towards the end) but I encouraged them to give it to the others because the prize was a GIANT teddy bear (as big as me) and we honestly just don't have anywhere to put it.

Next up was a train ride and both girls thought that was tons of fun.  Handley rode alone with her friends and Harper was happy to ride with Jake, Reece, and their mommy, Christy.  The train took them out of the parking lot and down one of the neighborhood streets.  As they came back down in the parking lot Harper's train car got so excited to wave to someone they knew.  It was so cute.

Lastly we enjoyed hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch before heading home for naps.  It was a great event and so much fun for the kids.  They were excited that Gigi and Papa were able to come and that Mimi was able to be there with us for just a little bit before heading off to catch her flight home.
