Harvest Party

Yesterday was our ward harvest party.  Typically we have a "Trunk-or-Treat" but this year they decided to break with tradition and go with a harvest party instead.  Jeremy was none to pleased about this change but it ended up being a really fun time (even Jeremy thought so).

The party was held at the Eddington's home in their humongous (and really nice) horse barn.  We had a chili cook-off, face painting, a cupcake walk, the doughnut on a string game, bobbing for apples, and music.  They also used their ATV to pull people on a hayride.  The kids really loved the hayride.  In fact, when we first got there, Thane Eddington told CC he needed her help up front and let her sit up on the ATV.  She thought that was awesome.

There really was no part of the evening that my kids did not love.  I on the other had could have done without the germy bobbing for apples, especially when I found out the Merrick decided he was thirsty and couldn't find any other water so he was drinking the water from the bobbing for apples game (ewww!!!!).  Otherwise everything was great.

At the end of the night we had to pull the kids away.  I don't think they were too disappointed in the change from the "Trunk-or-Treat".
