Fall Festival

This year the homeschool fall festival was my responsibility to put on (well mine, and another woman).  I have been to it the last 2 years, but when you are in charge you realize how much more goes into to it then just showing up with your dish  :)

Another homeschool family pastors the Methodist church and every year they put out a very large “Pumpkin Patch”.  The homeschool organization gives a donation and we get the left over pumpkins.  I was planning on going the day before the event to pick them up, but people started stealing the pumpkins—yes, stealing from a church!!  So, we had to head out in the rain to gather what we could before there were none left…

fortunately the heavy rain had stopped.  I was unable to get as many pumpkins as I had hoped (we use them for decorating and games, so the more the better), so I thought I should get extra hay  :)

Mike was able to come help—and I would have hated for him to miss out on all this fun!

Transporting the hay!

Loading the hay…

I didn’t actually get any pictures at the event—was too busy visiting and doing things  :)  It went beautifully and we had perfect weather!  Another church was having a fall festival that night so they took a lot of the pumpkins—but we still have several left and I brought them home.  Mike is working on a shooting range—and guess what he plans to use as targets?  :)
