Fall Festival

Collin and I swapped our usual lazy Sunday afternoon for a few hours at the Barnyard Bash Fall Festival (please note we didn't miss football completely).

There were farm animals to ride, pumpkins to hunt,

marshmallows to roast (Collin was most excited about this until the smoke got in his eyes, fortunately Mr. Baldwin was more than willing to help him out),

s'mores to eat

games to play

and pumpkins to paint.

The highlight of Collin's afternoon was the duck game (see picture with manual water pump).  I really think he would have played until dark.  It was such a simple set up, but he was so excited to pump the water so that the duck could race and fall off into the "pond" at the end.  He has now decided that his daddy can build one of these games and that we should have one at home.  We'll see what dad has to say about that.
