Annual Fall Party

This will make the third year in a row to hold our Fall Party. What a fun experience for both the kids and parents. This year, because of the growth of several families :-) we decided to hold our fall party at night when the dads could come along for crowd control. We met out at a park in Garland where we were practically secluded from the crowds. We had a nice fire pit that we put to good use later int he night.

We had rotations to which each family moved through. First, was the apple bobbing!!!

Here's B and Jackson with their prizes!

Next, was cupcake decorating


Third, we had a craft station where they made a "thankful" tree.

Our last rotation was a nature collection and then the kiddos had some games int he pen field. This allowed the moms to fix the hot dogs (thanks to Kris for grilling all of those of the rustic grill). Here's a pic of them running around crazy.




Laurie and Jackson enjoying their dog and chips.


Finally...the fire!


The boys fascinated by the fire.
