Festival of the Falls

Last weekend there was a large Halloween festival for the kids at Cascade park. Maya went as Belle (since she really is such a princess) and Hayden went as a frog (or a toad for the two go together quite well). We ended up spending over four hours at the festival going on the hayrides, the trick-or-treat trail, getting Hayden's face painted (twice), and listening to the live music. The kids had a blast, or rather Hayden had a blast. Maya was held the majority of the time and slept the rest.

Hayden's little run is hilarious on it's own but when you throw him into a frog suit it's ten times better. I just had to share this with everyone. Make sure you turn on your volume so you can hear this frog ribbit.

Yet Another Hayride

A couple weeks ago a friend of mine invited us to a large family potluck where there was going to be a hayride. Hayden LOVES the hayrides and lucky him he has gone on four this fall. Of course he is hanging out with little girls. He sure does like the ladies!

I can't remember the name of this game that I played as a child but all you do is hit the ball and watch it wind around the pole. So simple but so enjoyable. Look at Hayden's face. What a classic!

I just love this picture of Maya! She is just such a darling little girl and such a sweetie. She is finally able to wear the hat her grandma Besecker gave her and it just looks adorable on her.
