Fall Fun Festival

Jackson captivated by the jugglers
Every year the Parks and Recreation Department puts on their annual Fall Fun Festival in the park for toddlers the morning of Halloween.  Andrew and I took the boys this morning.

I love going to this festival!  They have games geared toward toddlers, hay rides, and refreshments.  Kids are dressed in all kinds of Halloween costumes.  Jackson was dressed as Maverick from Top Gun.  Awesome idea on my part for a costume!  Even some of the parents are dressed up!  This year the festival had circus performers including jugglers.  Jackson loved the jugglers!  We had to pull him away from them because he would have watched them the entire day.  Both boys received a treat bag filled with trinkets, candy and a book.  This was free to all participants.  How awesome is that?!

I used to work for the Parks and Recreation Dept.  Part of my job included helping to plan, organize and create this event.  I understand how many man hours it takes to pull off such an event.  Far more than any actually realizes.  It is a long, involved, and detail oriented process which takes the collaboration of several people.   Most people attend these events and take for granted all the work and workers it takes to pull this festival together.  So a quick shout out to all the Parks and Recreation employees who organized, planned an executed this great festival!  Thank you for all your hard work!  You are definitely appreciated!
