Fall Festivals

Saturday night before Halloween a friend called and said their church was having their annual trunk or treat on Sunday afternoon.  We went last year and it was a lot of fun, so we thought we would go again.  The guys were working on the duck blind during the afternoon, but came after they were finished...unfortunately I was not good about taking photos and the only one I have is one of him in the kitchen before we left.  Aunt Kat bought Tucker scrubs the other day and I thought it was fitting for him to go as a doctor.  He was so cute and he really likes wearing them!  Here's the only photo from the night - kind of blurry because I couldn't get him to sit still.



This year Halloween fell on a Wednesday, so it was a perfect time to go to the fall festival at our church!  They had a ton of blow up jumpers, games, a petting zoo, horse back rides, and other fun activities for the kids.  Tucker dressed up as a cowboy like his daddy.  He was the cutest little cowboy!

Jonathan had a meeting for his mission trip, so he went on to that and met up with us later in the night.    Thankfully I had some help on hand - Mrs. Pam and Sarah came right at 5 when it started and my mom came a few minutes after that.  Who knew how much stuff there was to carry around and keep up with.  Sarah became my official photographer for the night - I'm SO thankful because honestly I probably would have forgotten to take pictures if not.  Also, I wish I had thought about bringing the stroller just to carry all the stuff we had and tried to carry all night - purses, candy bag, water, hat, shoes, etc.

So here are a few photos from the night.  We had a great time!  It got really crowded around 6:30 so we scooted out and had Chick-fil-a for dinner and then headed home.  It was a fun time had by all and I'm thankful Jonathan was able to be there as well...normally he is in class for school while we are at church so we rarely get the treat of having him with us on Wednesday night church.
My sweet cowboy!


Both my Cowboys!

Aunt Sarah and Tucker sliding - He LOVED this - went down it several times before it got too busy

I joined in on the fun as well

Tucker trying to convince Mimi to go with him back up to slide

Giving grammy a high five through the jumper!


He was squeezing me to death - love him!

Another jumper - he was scared of them at first but then loved them.

Fishing for candy!

We tried to let him ride the horse but he was not having it - I was a bit surprised to be honest, but there was a little boy behind him that was dressed as the hulk and I think it might have frightened him a little.



He LOVED riding in this.  It was driven by a lawn mower


We checked out the fire trucks that were there as well.

Daddy came after his meeting - that's all he wanted!

Little family photo
Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween as well!  We had a great time!
