Harvest Festival

Each fall, our church has a harvest festival for the families of the parish.  There is a hay ride to a pumpkin "patch" where we pick out our pumpkins, crafts, games, food, pumpkin decorating and more. The girls absolutely love going and when we figured out that the weekend soccer games did not conflict with the time of the fair, we made plans to attend.  Sunday was a predictably hectic day - we were split between two churches that morning as I had volunteer duty at St. Mary and Lee and the girls were off to St. Pius; then soccer and showers; and then finally, the harvest fair!  The girls were so excited and had the great time that they anticipated.

Enjoying the hay ride. 

Elizabeth picked out the perfect pumpkin!

Cupcake decorating was a huge hit, as it is every year! 

The goal is to get as much sugar as possible onto the cupcake!  Miss Stephanie and Miss Katarina did nothing but encourage them!

FUN DAY!!!

My kids would agree that getting as much sugar on top of your cupcake is a very admirable goal :0)
