HAPPY HARVEST!

The children are out of school today and we are all up early preparing for Harvest festivities this evening. The older girls are preparing the prize board for Fred's annual jeopardy game and Mikayla is making a list of pumpkin pie ingredients so we can get them ready for Abe, Lily and Sophie to deliver to family friends as harvest gifts. Last night Jordan and his friends went to a haybale maze at a members home and ended up at Pres. Walkers home for ice cream. Mikayla and her friends had a group party with good old fashioned games, bobbing for apples and pumpkin juice drinking contests. The extended family Harvest party last weekend was a perfect beginning to the holiday season and really got us in the spirit.

For Mom and Dad's benefit I included a few pictures, but my camera batteries ran out early that night so I only got a handful.



This was the first activity, which ended almost before we got there, because it was almost as tall as Ben and Renee's house and there were casualties early on. Eventually a safer slide was put up with the kids enjoyed all night long!


When the evening was ending the adults sat around listening to Jordan play his guitar while the younger children enjoyed their own musical talents.

We also enjoyed good food, strobe light fun, hay rides, and most especially family!
