Fall Festival 2010

I promised pictues, so here they are!  Last week was our towns annual Fall Festival.  Above is Rachel with her friend at the kids games event.

Here is Kayla and her friends waiting for their game.

 

Rachel in the water balloon toss where she won 2nd prize of a half dollar!

...Rachel at the potato race and the apple bobbing; she didn't win either one but she had fun!

My man Kyle holding down the fort because he didn't want to play any games :)

Wristband afternoon at the carnival!

Kyle and his best bud waiting for the rides to open.

The awesome spectators:  we weren't about to pay $20 for wristbands, but we had fun watching!

I have more pictures of Rachel because I was following her around most of the time.

Rachel and Haley in the teacups, before Conner, Hunter and Kyle joined Rachel in them (below).

Cousins Haley, Kaylay, and Courtney

Aunt Diane even came and went on a couple of rides with the kids, and then offered us the rest of her tickets!  So Jason and I each got to go on a ride. 

This year is the Sesquicentennial Celebration for our town, and Rachel and I each sang in a special pageant put on about the history of the town.  Rachel was such a trooper.  The pageant ran two nights, and started the 2 hour program at 8 pm.  The kindergarteners performed at the END of the program-- getting home at 10:30 pm.  Rachel is in the middle with the jean jacket and dress on.

I was also in the "Anniversary Choir" which was a lot of fun to be a part of; I got to meet a lot of new people and serve the community.

BTW, Jason checks in our blog from time to time, and he did so today.  He was conerned that my Royals game post could be interpreted wrong at the part where I said we went out for drinks.  For any of you that do not know us well, we don't "drink."  At all.  Neither one of us have ever even tasted alcohol.  We drink water.  We went out for drinks at the water fountain.  I hope that's clear enough!!
