It's Fall!

Our small town holds "Pumpkins in the Park" every fall.  There are games for the kids, pumpkin decorating contest, chili cook-off and fall dessert contest.  Mason and Daddy were on the swather all day so just Maiya and I went to the park.  We were happy to see lots of Maiya's friends there.


Miniature pumpkin toss.  Maiya LOVED this game.  She and Abbigayl played long after the other kids were bored!




The Minneola Civic Club hosted a coloring contest for kids.  Maiya's entry won her first place and $10!


So, not all of this happened on the same day, but it was all the same week!  Today, though, there was no school for parent-teacher conferences.  The kids each had a friend over for the afternoon.  It was a nice day and they played outside on the trampoline a lot.  We decided to try some homemade soft pretzels for snacks.  Maiya and Braegen were excited to get their hands dirty in the "powder" according to Braegen!



 Their pretzels, ready for the cooking process!


And, I didn't get a picture of the finished product.  We ate the yummy pretzels with some homemade cheese dip.  Fun afternoon with some cute, giggly, cheerleading girls!
