Fall Festivals

Saturday the 13th was the Fall Festival at Centertown Baptist Church. Kathy worked one of the games. Nolan was here that day so he and I went to check it out.

He spent a LONG time enjoying the bounce house.

He was to tall for the warrior's helper but to short for the warrior.

Both of us enjoyed our hot dogs.

Last Wednesday evening Freshwater, where I go to church, had its Fall Festival. Kathy was teaching a Bible Study Class that night but Kelsey, Lydia, Nolan and I went. Kathy made a crock pot full of chicken chili for me to take to the chili cookoff.

It was at Fisher Farms, across the river from Jefferson City. The place has lots of activities, a pumpkin patch, several mazes, and a lot more.

 In the photo below note the stair going up to the platform that goes into the building.

 One end of the platform goes into the building the other way goes to a slide down into a sand pile.

At the end of the platform that went into the building was a slide the ended in a pile of shelled corn. My photos of the kids going down the slide are terrible. The shutter speed on my phone camera wasn't even close to being fast enough to catch the kids hurtling down the slide. Nolan and Kelsey are both in the photo below. Nolan would come off the slide laid out flat and didn't hit the corn until he was several feet from the end of the slide.

 Lydia is at the top of the slide in the photo below.

Another couple of slides. Kids had to climb up on the round bales to get to them. Nolan was to short on one end to make the climb. Lydia is running to get to the slide. Nolan is checking it out.

Queen of the hay bales.

A little swinging to end the evening.

In addition to the 25 entries in the chili cookoff there were hot dogs, chips, deserts, drinks, and more, to eat. All the kids got 2 pumpkins (one 8-10" in diameter), another 3-4" in diameter and a gourd. I didn't hear how many entry fees the church paid for but near the end of the evening Josh, our Pastor, estimated that there were over 400 people in attendance.

A good time was had by all.

God is good. May He bless you and yours.
