Fall Festival at Church

Our church hosted a Fall Festival today.  There were many cheerful volunteers, good food, good drink, inflatable bouncy houses, pony rides, a climbing wall, and a mechanical bull! 



Ritter's ice cream. Cold but GOOD.



Yes, her hair really is green!

Miriam, hanging on carefully.

The children had a great time in spite of problematic weather.  LAST year the fall festival fell on a cold and windy day. I hoped and prayed this year would be better but the Lord sometimes says no. Today it was cold, windy, and rainy too -- or at least the first hour we were there it was rainy.  I feel like I earned many Mommy points today, because I wanted to be home taking a nap, not shivering through a Fall Festival.  But of course it was worth it, as the children had a lovely time.  I'm so grateful to the staff and volunteers at our church, who put on a great show for the children.
