Sunday evening our church had a Fall Festival. We always enjoyed going to the Fall Festival at Cowboy Fellowship in Pleasanton so we decided to dress the kids up and go. We also helped out with our Sunday School class's booth, the Ring Toss. We didn't quite anticipate exactly how big the Fall Festival would be.....I would venture to say there were around 4,000 people there maybe more. It was crazy and trying to explain what a "long line" is to a 3 year old was less than exciting. I felt sorry for him because he wanted to go in the big jumpy things but the lines were just too long to entertain Kyleigh while waiting. We ended up going over to the booth where they were throwing washers and Cooper loved that. We also took them over to the petting zoo where they got to see baby goats and a pig. They LOVED the pig...both of them just laughed and tried to follow it around. We ended up leaving early because the kids were starting to melt down from hunger. We were planning on eating at the festival and when we got there at 5:30 all the food was gone! I had no idea otherwise I would have planned accordingly.
On Halloween night we went over to our friends' house, Leah and Brad. They live in Castlegate and have a great little area around their neighborhood to trick-or-treat. We all set up outside and ate pizza before heading out to trick-or-treat. Cooper seemed to really enjoy himself much more this year and I can tell that he will probably be even more into the whole thing next year. He followed the bigger kids to each house and got a nice bucket full of candy. He has enjoyed a couple of pieces so far and I'm sure he will be asking for more in no time. We have discovered that his favorite candy is a tootsie roll......a boy after my own heart :) We had such a great time with them and look forward to getting together again soon!
