Harvest Festival

Yesterday one of our good friend's little girls turned 1. They had a party in Turon where they have a Harvest Festival Farm. This was the first time we'd been there, but was a very neat set up that they had. They had a ton of different activities for the kids to do. As you can see the kid's tried there hand at roping. They roped the "calf" several times. Good thing he didn't move too much! They had little train rides, animal farms, hay loft slides, and more. They also had an old fire truck that they had converted into a massive pumpkin cannon. This thing launched pumkins over a half mile. I've never seen a pumkin launched that far before. Kids thought that was pretty cool. They had to take a quick break to re-hydrate. Good thing big brother was there to provide the sugar!




They had a hayrack ride out to a very large pumkin patch. Unfortunately a Kansas hailstorm came thru in early June and wiped out a good chunk of there pumkin crop. Kids still had a blast looking.
Awe, the two beautiful women in my life!!








After a fun evening, they had gift opening and of course cupcakes. Addy made quick work of the frosting. Didn't care too much about the actual cake portion.
