Today the girls and I went to fall fest. Our town does this every year on the last sat of September. Last year we weren't able to make it so it's been 2 years since our last attendance. I was pleasantly surprised this year. It was almost 2 times as big as 2 years ago! Everything was doubled and there were so many children activities! Totally in love and we look forward to next year. Unfortunately robbie had to work so it was just us.
They close down the road near the Main Street in town and set up shop. The girls were able to choose pumpkins to paint and decorate which they loved. Lila made a muno (yo gabba gabba) is her current obsession. The weather was super nice (70s) and sunny which is rare for wi. Afterwards we went over to the Home Depot booth. Every Saturday they have a kids workshop where they can build and paint a craft. We have always wanted to go but never had the time so it was nice to try it out. The girls both made wooden heart boxes (more like I made 2 of them) it was pretty frustrating lol. They had so many people squished on a table that when you nailed you had to be careful to not hit any little fingers or your own since the whole plastic table was shaking from everyone pounding hammers. I'm sure we will go to Home Depot at some point and do another because the girls loved pounding in the nails and gluing their box together. We decided to paint it at home mostly because I didn't want to carry wet paint boxes everywhere.
A local private school had free cookie decorating so we stopped there next.
We stopped at a local coffee shop in town that has gelato the girls love. Even on my sad weird diet I was able to pick up some dark chocolate frozen bananas which were soo good! The girls got their gelato and we did their pirate treasure hunt. They gave us a map to follow around outside until we found the x. The girls took a picture of it and back we went to claim their prize. Such a cool idea and they totally loved it! One of nahlas classmates were in the shop at the same time as us his mom brought up nahlas dragon. Apparently her show and tell on Friday was a hit with the kids!
We walked down to the new local daycare for our final stop. We grabbed some lemonade on the way and the girls got to play games (win candy) and get some snow cones.
I was impressed at the amount of free activities for the girls and they had a blast. Nahla asked when we can go again!
I feel like WI has one festival after another -- fun! I love dark chocolate frozen bananas! ^_^ And the treasure hunt sounded awesome! it's nice to have an activity that keeps the kids moving instead of trying to keep them in one place lol
