Country Place Fall Festival

 Every year our neighborhood has a fall festival so our kids can go trick or treating.  The whole concept behind our neighborhood is to feel like you live in the country, but with a neighborhood feel.  Everyone has about 2 - 10 acres, lots of hills, and some houses hidden by trees, so it would be almost impossible as well as exhausting to go actually go trick or treating.  Jenny, Justin and Will were in town and got to join in on the fun this year too.  The boys loved it, it was a perfect fall evening and we already have Halloween candy!

Sterling's friend, Karson Batman, was also on the hayride - his grandma lives in our neighborhood

Cowboy Hudson and Skeleton Sterling with Kate, their babysitter (we're going to miss her when she goes off to Texas A&M next year)

 Hudson and Will enjoying their suckers - Hudson had already had some chocolate too it looks like!

A hay ride stopped at certain houses on the trail and people were set up at the end of their driveways, so the kids would hop out and take off running.

His hat wouldn't stay on, but isn't the cutest cowboy ever?!

He LOVED trick or treating and would say, "Thank you!"  every time someone put some candy in his bucket.  So sweet!

I got no pictures of Sterling because he was so fast, but every table he went up to he'd say, "I can't have anything with peanut butter!"  At some tables this sent people into a tizzy, but we were always able to find something peanut free!  I LOVE that he's so cautious, but sometimes I like the Reese's to actual make it into the bucket!

After the hay ride there's a cookout at the end of a cul-de-sac and the kids got to run around and be silly for hours!

Hudson was running around trying to scare people

Karson and Sterling made some foam haunted houses

Hudson decided to lean on Will and knocked him over, of course, they thought this was hilarious

Karson's grandmother has some new donkeys at her house and we tried feeding those too, but they were still too scared.

I thought Hudson might climb over the fence to get to them.  He has no fear!

It drives me crazy when I get a good picture and then one of the boys has a messy face, but I guess that means Hudson had a great time!  We all did and are all ready looking forward to next year's fall festival!
