This weekend was my school's annual fall festival. I have to say that it was a huge success and that my school raised a lot of money to help pay for our spring field trips. Once again, we took Owen and Olivia to the festival. Olivia remembered riding the horses last year and went straight to them again this year. Owen also got to ride the horse once, but he was not quite as excited about it as Olivia was. Both kids were also able to participate in various games- such as the "Dino Dig" and the "Ring Toss". One good thing about our festival is that most of the kids games only cost .25 cent to play, and most give prizes to the kids for participating. Our winnings included bubbles, a 2-liter Mountain Dew, and several plastic fish.
The petting zoo was a big hit with both kids this year. There were various farm animals that the kids could touch- including a cow, chicken, turkey, goat, and bunny rabbit. Owen was glad to touch any animal, while Olivia seemed to keep going after the rabbit. The petting zoo was located near the school playground, so naturally we had to spend a lot of time on the playground equipment. The quarno-kids were here and went to the festival also. Zach and Mackenzie were both very helpful with Owen and Olivia on the playground, and they helped the kids get onto the structures that were too tall for them to get on by themselves. I didn't get to stay with the kids the whole time because I had to work the last hour and a half at the popcorn booth, and then I had to clean up for about an hour after that. Brian has figured that the kids were at the festival for about three and a half hours and that we only spent about $10. You can't beat that!
