Fall Festival 2010

We had fun at the Fall Festival this year. We played some games, rode ponies and ate candy. Kiersten looked like a real little bug crawling all over the football field.

Random October Happenings

Aidan celebrated the letter H at school with Hilarius Hair Day. He also got to play catcher in Tball which he was very excited about.

Aidan made two great plays at third base which resulted in outs (which are rare in his league). Kiersten loves Elmo crackers, not sure if she loves the crackers or Elmo on the box more.

Run for Sudan

A couple of weekends ago, we all participated in a festival that benefited the group that Darren went with on his trip to Sudan. Darren ran a 5K and Aidan ran a 1K Fun Run.

Here are the kids in their Sudan garb, carbing up before the race. Aidan running with Captain Sudan
His prize, a pair of flip flops

Aidan's Field Trip

Aidan's class took a field trip to the Owens Farm for some fall fun.

State Fair of Texas

It was time again to visit the State Fair. We enjoyed petting animals, trying new foods (fried grilled cheese is delicious) and riding the Ferris wheel.

The family with Big Tex. Thank goodness we have a few more years until he hits the road. There seems to be some confusion between forward & reverse.

Aidan working on the 'farm'. Kiersten enjoying her quesadilla from the dairy people (who used to have ice cream by the way). The petting zoo. Kiersten adored all the animals. High above the fair on the ferris wheel.
