hArvESt FeSTivAl


On Halloween, or Reformation Day if you prefer, we went up to the Harvest Festival at Bellevue. It was amazing! Take your state fair and condense to the back of Bellevue's property; they had everything. There were at least 2 dozen moon walk bouncer things (slides, obstacle courses, bouncers...), fair rides (Ferris Wheel...), games, train rides, pony rides, pronto pups, funnel cakes, burgers, bands, .... It was all there (except the freak shows). Seth was in sensory overload when we first got there, but then he adjusted!


He would not ride any of the rides or ponies or get on any of the inflatables, he seems to like only the familiar. Even the switch to cloth diapers was an issue with him at first, but that's a story for another time. He did however enjoy eating his candy. And yes, this is his costume. He would not put a real one on (remember the "only the familiar" thing), so we made him a ball player; he also had a headband to accompany the "costume".


Leah, however, fully embraced her costume, especially with all of the attention she was getting! A lady came over to tell me that when they saw her in the grass they thought it was a small animal! Hilarious!


This is the part where you see Seth's favorite part of the evening!!! He got on the pitchers mound and threw out some pitches, then he went to short stop and fielded some balls then threw them to first, he ran the bases, and did a little batting practice. He was cracking everybody up.


And here is where Leah spends the majority of her time. We did try to get a picture of Hannah, Seth and Leah together, but, with 3 children that can walk, that was a failure!!
