The Fall Festival

Friday night we took the kids to their first fall festival for halloween. They had fun dressing up in their little pirate costumes and Jake even wore his hat the entire time. Abby's is a bit harder to keep on so she has decided it's not worth the effort to try and wear her hat. Oh well, she still looks cute.
We got so many looks (again, we took the kids out with their harnesses, but the place was so crowded I could just see one of the kids taking off in the crowd and John or I not being able to grab them), "how cute", and even a few "too bad the harnesses are parrots".
The kids are still too little for most of the games, but we did play the "Fisher's of Men" game (the festival was at a church), watched a puppet show and even petted a lizard. The kids were confused on the whole fishing game and John and I ate the candy they "caught", but we all had fun. They were also a little confused at the puppet show. It was really for older kids so some of the music scared them a little. Abby was also confused b/c the sound was coming out of speakers on the side of the room, not from the puppets mouths. Jake was a little more into it and both sat patiently the whole time. Well, until a couple of kids sat in front of us eating popcorn. Then Jake was signing more and Abby even tried to steal the popcorn from the kids.
There were also a few bounce houses, but they didn't have one for the super little kids so we decided to skip the bounce houses for now.
