One of my favorite things about living in New Braunfels is the fall and winter season. Starting in October there are so many "small town" festivals and such. It really starts with the fall festivals and culminates in fun christmas activities!
Last weekend was the first of the holiday activities. We went to the fall festival put on by the Girl Scouts. It was super cheap and the kids had a great time (with the exception of the haunted house that we forced Travis to go into and he screamed the whole time...lol). We even convinced daddy to get off work early and go with us. The kids played a few carnival games and won some candy. Then we went on the hay ride where we managed to get a halfway decent picture of the five of us!! After the hayride Lexi went on the big blow up slide (of course not Travis, he's entirely to cautious for that). After some convincing we got Travis to go in the jumpy house with Lexi. Then they played a few more games. One was a ring toss type of game. They had a ring hanging from a tree that you had to try and throw a frisbee (paper plate) through. All of the kids in front of us couldnt get it in but my left handed son got it through (Daddy was proud). Then we stood in line for the haunted house. I knew travis was going to be scared to death but I wanted to show him that it was just pretend. They even kept the lights on for us but I still had to drag him across the floor through it. He screamed the entire time even after I showed him that the 'guts' were just spaghetti and that the 'monster' was just a kid with a mask on. Lexi swears she wasnt scared but I never even heard a peep from her the whole time.
Then we went to do the cake walk. Lexi won a cupcake right off the bat. It was a lot of fun and I think we spent a total of $7 for the whole family!
Next week is a busy one. Lexi has red ribbon week at school, Halloween on Friday and Wusrtfest starts Friday also (YAY!!!!). All 3 kids will be gone for the weekend with Aunt Mandy for pumpkin carving so hopefully Ill get pictures from that. Heres some pictures from the Fall Festival:
