On Halloween I spent the day with my nephew, Joshua, his mom Jennifer. I volunteered at Joshua's Fall Festival. The kids started the day by having a costume parade. Josh was a fireman for this part of the day. The kids were lined up by class and then paraded around the circular drive at the front of the school. They were so cute! Afterwards all the volunteers went to the hall to finalize prep for the festival and get to our assigned stations. Josh goes to a small christian school, SonRise, so the festival was held inside. There was a hula hoop toss, bowling with corn ear pins, an apple toss, a discovery barn, sensory boxes, a pumpkin toss, a find your letters pool filled with fall leaves, pumpkin decorating, and last but not least cookie decorating. Each class was brought in and assigned a station. The director then allowed 6-8 minuted per station and yelled switch. Let me tell you, it was quite an experience ;o) I was stationed at the pumpkin toss. Some of those kids have quite an arm! Retrieving pumpkins for 62 kids wore me out. The festival went quite well and the kids had alot of fun.
After school we went to see my brother and dad for lunch. Then home to rest up for trick-or-treating later. For that part of the night Josh was a skeleton. It was cute costume and he had so much fun "scaring" the neighbors. It was quite a day, thanks Jenn, Josh and Steve for including me in the fun!
