Fall Traditions...

Every year we go to the "Scarecrow Festival" at a local apple orchard/general store/restaurant/pumpkin patch...busy place. They have tons of different scarecrows and activities for the kids. This week is MEA (MN Education Association for all you non-Minnesotans), which means all the kids in the state are out of school Thursday and Friday. I'm not exactly sure what the teachers do on MEA weekend...I guess they have workshops and lectures for them to go to but, what I really think is it's just a long weekend for the teachers to catch their breath after finding out what hooligans they have in their classes. Anyhoo, this little festival is packed on those two days but, luckily for us my kids also have Wednesday off. There were just enough people so that the kids had other kids to play with but, not so jam packed that you had to wait an hour for a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Lots of fun especially, picking out our first pumpkins of the year.
They have a bunch of these "photo things" and guess which two kids had to have their picture taken in EVERY SINGLE ONE? Luckily for you I'm only sharing one. Think I could get ONE good picture in the haystack? This is as close as I got...thanks guys!


This was my favorite scarecrow...can't you just feel the love?
For the record, Jenna's favorite was the Miley Cyrus Scarcrow and Sam's was Walle...shocking, I know.
