We host a Fall Fun Festival each year as an outreach event. This year was the biggest and best we've ever done. I don't know how many people were there but it was incredible. Everything is free, from food to games to bounce houses. This year we had an inflatable laser tag and a Euro Bungee (pics of Evan jumping below). It was basically a mini State Fair with a Midway, cotton candy, sno cones and even a Snake Guy/Magician combo show. (didn't see that so I am not sure how that worked out).
I get a little overwhelmed at things like this - large crowds are not my thing - but Evan loved every second of it. At one point he had a sno cone in one hand and cotton candy in the other in full grin (sad to have missed that picture). This was after I insisted on "real" food of a hotdog. It was crazy fun for sure!
Jeff and I went as Evan's Pit Crew 
Let the fun begin!
He went through this obstacle course no less than 15 times...he was sweating and loving every minute!
He almost melted down at the thought of not getting to swing the big hammer...so they did it together. Thanks Erin for being a good sport and cheering him on!

Just getting started
Higher...
And then the guy asked him if he wanted to go higher...ummmm...did he have to even ask? My camera just wasn't responding fast enough in the dark, but his feet were way over our heads and he was in heaven. There was more but we parted company for me to take a very tired Abbie home and I ended up with the camera...oh, and Evan's shoes...oops. :)
I can't wait to hear how many showed up and the ensuing outreach opportunities! I am so grateful for all the volunteers that worked the games with smiles, patience and encouragement.
