Harvest Festival

The little town next to us hosted a Harvest Festival the week before Halloween.  Bobby said it reminded him of the town he grew up in.  It was busy but not over-crowded, which was really nice.
Graham and Charlie were able to enjoy a little petting zoo:
That chicken is definitely spoiled being able to sit on a sheep all day!
The local supermarket donated some pumpkins.  Time to decorate!
Graham was done within minutes:
... and wandered off to the next booth for an air-brush tattoo:
Charlie is still working on his pumpkin:
Fire-soccer ball tattoo done!
Charlie is finally done decorating his pumpkin. Lots of details, as the artist he is :-)
Now we have to lug this pumpkin around the rest of the afternoon. Ha ha! Probably should have done that activity last. Oh well, that's what Mommy and Daddy are for, I guess:
Time for Charlie's airbrush tattoo - a multicolored snake.  He is obviously still influenced by their friend Jasper that lives in Abu Dhabi who LOVES snakes:
Next activity for the boys, trampoline jumping with bungee cords:
Graham got so high up, he was up in the trees!
Charlie was a bit scared but still was able to enjoy most of the experience:
Next event, a pumpkin race!!!  I don't think I have seen this before. Charlie was so SO upset that we were not competing. Maybe next year!
These race pumpkins look awesome!!!   We will need to figure out what to name ours for next year :-)
One more fun activity before going home - rock climbing.  Graham was so fast!
He was up to the top within seconds!  He climbed a different/more difficult section and had no issues either.  Our little monkey!
Poor Charlie tries so hard:
And obviously tired himself out.  When we got home, he actually tucked himself in or should I say UNDER all those cushions.  Too funny!
Charlie DEFINITELY tired himself out!!! :-D
