This was Tom's first time to our church's

He had plenty of escorts to show him
ALL fun activities.
Kimmy and me
The Harvest Festival was held
on a huge farm.
Plenty of room for so many activities.

we had a Chili Feed.)

For some, it was a pretend cow
but Silas didn't care!
Individual Activities:
Bow and Arrows
Lassoing
Stilts
Slides
And then there were the
Relay Races
(for ALL ages)
Wheelbarrow races
Sack Relay
That's Lulu on the right!
Go Lulu Go!
Baton Relay
Go Levi Go!
The last and BIGGEST contest was the
Tug of War!
Above,Girls vs Girls
The younger and smaller girls were waiting their turn, while the older girls were pulling hard.
Everyone had a turn because
the categories were vast.
Dads vs. Dad
Dads vs Boys
Boys vs. Boys
But the most anticipated was the "famous"
Mom's vs. Sons
The above picture is the mom's

Everyone was yelling & cheering them on!

So much FUN!
Kids gave kids wagon rides.
Later, there were Hayrides.

Every year there is a Pie Contest.
Only Apple or Pumpkin!
Lulu entered last year and decided to try again.
Here are the judges, taste testing all the pies.
Guess who won 1st Place
for her Apple Pie?
Lulu did!!
We all had so much fun,
kicking up our heels!
Looks like someone went a little over board.

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your pictures, what a great time everyone had and I would love to eat some of that pie.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! What a wonderful event. It takes a lot of planning and work to pull off something like this. My hat's off to the coordinators. Lulu is so cute. I love the photo of her with her ribbon. You can just sense her delight; it radiates from that picture. Congratulations to Lulu!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like so much fun for all, Christine. I bet you were all a bit worn out! Lulu baking pies already? Super!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! A good old fashion church party. I love it! Growing up, my church had an all church camping weekend and I have such fond memories of that! You just can't find that here in the city.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a really fun time! And how fun that Lulu's pie won! Yay!
