Fall Festival

On Sunday we had our annual Fall Festival at church. Our Fall Fest fun actually started on Saturday. Since I'm a member of the fellowship committee Andrew, Mads and I were part of the crew that went to collect 30 pumpkins from the big sale at Festival Foods. We were there bright and early at 8AM! It was a very chilly day here with the wind whipping around. Luckily we weren't out very long because Mads wasn't dressed appropriately and could've really had some mittens on! :(
So, we collected the pumpkins, loaded them up into our van and another van and took them to the church where we unloaded them and helped to set up for the activities.




On Sunday we had one service followed by a potluck lunch and then pumpkin carving. Mads wasn't able to use the knives so she helped supervise Dad's work! ;) Mads and Dad chose a Frankenstein for her pumpkin. I think it turned out wonderfully!




Look how great all of the pumpkins turned out!

The festival also had bobbing for apples, a fire to make s'mores, and caramel apples. We were there until about 2PM, it was a great day!

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. I had Thursday and Friday off with Mads. On Thursday we went to Ripon to have lunch with Dad. Miss Maddie ate her entire grilled cheese at lunch! On Sunday morning she also ate 6 mini pancakes, a banana and a sausage link. Someone must be hitting a growth spurt!
Friday Dad & Marie were able to stop by for a few hours. Dad had his Foreman's Convention earlier in the week in Sturgeon Bay. It was very nice to see them on their way by!
Sunday after church we went up to Green Bay to spend some time with Grandma Mary. Mads had lots of fun eating her snacks out of the magic fridge!

Here are a few more pictures from the week.
