Fall Festival

Every year in our town there is a festival, and we always go. There are rides, food vendors, games, booths, music and more. We can walk there, and a big group of us always get together to go. This year, Hallie decided she was brave enough to go on the big giant swing (you know, the one that goes so high up, you almost feel like you will go upside down). The look on her face was classic. It was a half frozen smile, and she loved the going up part, but the coming down part, not so much. So it was this hilarious mix of big grin and smile, then paralyzed fear, then smile, then fear. Everyone on the ride with her and Matt were giving her high 5's after and telling her how brave she was. She was so proud of herself! Meanwhile, Adam was literally clinging to me for dear life and hiding behind my legs, because he wanted nothing to do with that ride. He feels safer on the ground :) We had a Gyro, the Kids had hotdogs, and various other treats. Matt was happy, they had his deep fried Oreo's that he gets once a year. There was also a big huge area set up courtesy of Big Time ( a huge trampoline/jumping place) and it was FREE! The kids had a blast playing on all of the bouncy houses and obstacles.
