Fall Fest

The family had a blast at Fall Fest last weekend.

Our kids love to dress up. Rex was especially excited about being Anakin Skywalker this year...he grew his hair out for just this occasion. I guess his efforts paid off because several people commented that he looked just like the "real" Anakin from The Clone Wars, and he even won an award for best superhero costume. Mara was adorable as Minnie Mouse. My friend Kristy found this costume for her at a garage sale for only $1...complete with matching shoes and ears.

Daddy's band "Low Pointe" plays the festival every year. His band is made up of other men from church who like to get together every once in a while and jam. Their motto is: We play what we like, and if you like it too then that's a bonus. Their self-deprecating name stems from a reference to the name of our church congregation "High Pointe Church of Christ". The band is really quite good despite the name that would suggest otherwise.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for helping me out with the kids!
