"Pumpkin Festival and Moonlight Movie in the Park at Spence Creek."

Last night we went to a pumpkin festival and a movie in a local subdivision. They had activities for the kiddies such as a pumpkin patch, an area to decorate your pumpkin, a toddler play area, and a scavenger hunt. It was really neat. They had one of those huge inflatable screens set up in a big grassy area next to the playground and swimming pool. They had a concession area that provided popcorn and drinks for the movie. They played The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Shrek. We only made it through Charlie Brown since Lilly is still not at that age to watch a long movie. She walked through the pumpking patch but was too distracted to pick one out and then she got a pretend tatoo on her hand. We then went on a tour through two of the model homes for the subdivision. They were really nice and had awesome decor inside. I think Lilly will like this activity better next year, but we all enjoyed watching the movie. I am bummed I wont get to post any pictures of this since the batteries in our camera died when we got there. It was a great idea and I hope Spence Creek will host this again next year.

"Byars Dowdy Fall Festival"

Yesterday we took Lilly to the fall festival at one of the nearby elementary schools. They had all sorts of activities for kids and booths set up for local businesses to sell their products. Lilly was a little small for some of the activities, but she did seem to have a lot of fun. She got her face painted and went on a pony ride. She also got to pick out a balloon. She tried bowling and the bean bag toss. She had a little trouble, but her daddy helped her out. It was a fun day. It is great to find these events that are fun and support our community.

"Getting started on our fist blog"

I have seen blogs posted for several different reasons. I thought I would give it try. I am hoping that this will allow my friends and family to keep up with what our family is up to. Life is so busy and there are so many things we experience that we want to share with others. I hope this blog will be enjoyable to those who read it.
