City Fall Festival

We have really been hitting up all the fall festivals and pumpkin patches around this area. The weather has been gorgeous every weekend in October and we have taken advantage of it by spending our time enjoying the great outdoors. At the beginning of the month, we started out by going to the City of Hagerstown Fall Festival at Fairgrounds Park. It was pretty crowded but the kids enjoyed getting a free pumpkin, eating apples, watching some dance groups perform, devouring some ice cream, and visiting the petting zoo.

Hay was also fascinating for these two (we bypassed making our own scarecrow...I wasn't sure what we would do with a giant stuffed man once we brought it home!)



Landon LOVES anything with four legs...just like his big sister!


The highlight of the day was the train ride around the park in these barrel-like things. Good thing too, because we had to wait in a HUGE line just to go on them!!

We actually went to a church festival down the street from our house on the morning before General Conference where the kids tried out a similar train for the first time. They also got lots of prizes and free food from that festival too.

I tell ya, much to Jason's chagrin, I am the master of finding free things to do around these parts!!

Yeah for free! Good job finding such fun things. Oh man, it really is beautiful back there this time of year. I have such great memories of that drive from Marisa's to your house a few years ago. It was gorgeous.
