Fall Festival

This afternoon we got Eli dressed up and headed out to the country! One of the elders at our church hosted a fall festival at his home. As soon as we stepped outside of the car, I felt like I was back home-I love the smell of the country!
Uncle Ryan came over and tried to get Eli to walk...still working on that...I suppose Superman doesn't need to walk...why not just fly?!

Carly got her face painted like a cat. She was thrilled to be eating a snow cone...and cotton candy...and soda...and mom was thrilled that she wasn't getting a pillowcase full of candy :)

Mommy & Eli

Kisses for my baby :)

I didn't see Ben much...pretty sure he was jumping in the bounce house the whole time...

Eli's friend, Olivia. She won the 'cuttest costume' award. I can see why!

Pals.

Edgar walked Eli through the 'costume parade'...well...he 'flew' him through...Eli won the 'best superhero' award. In the awards was a coupon for a free McFlurry...so I think Christine and I are going to have to go out and celebrate our cute kids by eating their prize :)

It was a bit warm...can you see Eli sweating?! It was sad that I was worried that I forgot sunscreen...ON HALLOWEEN! It is NOT suppose to be this hot on October 31 :(

Who needs toys when ya got grass?

Flyin' high!
There were all sorts of activities, and a TON of food. I took a pumpkin dessert bar thing. It was pretty good-not too sweet, which was nice. It tasted a lot like pumpkin...imagine that.
We ended up leaving before it was all over. The 'Bluegrass Band' was about to start playing, but Eli had missed his afternoon nap, so I think he was about done.
We got home just in time to hand out candy to the kids in the neighborhood. Unfortunately we got way too much candy. I wonder if I can think of anyone that could use some candy...maybe someone that didn't get a 'pillowcase full' tonight? HA! Just kidding. Jennifer would kill me.
