Harvest Festival

Last weekend we went to/ helped put together our churches Harvest Festival.  Our church goes all out.  We had 3 bounce houses, a huge inflatable slide, a rock wall, jousting, velcro wall, obstacle course, bungee run, pony rides, petting zoo, cake walk, face painting, games, candy, candy and more candy!  With that said...we had the entire place set up in just over an hour.  We have an incredible crew of hardworking volunteers that make this event happen and for that I am grateful.
Our kids loved it!  Michael was pretty into playing games this year and even gave the velcro wall and rock wall a try.  Lizzie and Audrey spent much of their time on the inflatable slide...I think they were there for an hour straight!  And Stephen of course smiled his way through the day =0)

The scoreboard wasn't working properly...I totally worked him  =0)

Sea World

Last week we made a day of it and headed to Sea World with some great friends.  We had a blast!  3 adults, 7 kids, 7 hours and countless memories made.  The child in me still loves the dolphins and still gets super excited to pet them =0)

Here is a glimpse into what our kids called the "BEST DAY EVER!".

Lined up watchign the otters play

This dolphin was very entertaining!  He was throwing the football around and showing off his skills...loved it!

I will forever be amazed by the creatures God has made.  It truly is spectacular seeing their beauty displayed

 Best Friends touching "boogers"  Apparently Rays are slimy because they are covered in mucous or as the staff pointed out to our kids...boogers.  They loved it!

Their faces say it all!!!

Best Buds! (And an enormous Seat Turtle)

Lizzie's Art Party

 On September 22 Lizzie turned 4!!!  Elizabeth loves all things artsy.  Most days are spent coloring, cutting, gluing, painting, ect so we had a fun, bright Art Party to celebrate!  Here is a little look into her special day...

It was hot but we all had a blast.  The kids loved the bounce house and spin art ...and the Swedish Fish sushi was a hit!  I wish I had a picture of the paint brush Rice Krispies that Suzy made for the gift bags...they were adorable!  Happy Birthday Elizabeth Nicole!
