Harvest Festival Fun

Our MOPS families had such a great time at the Harvest Festival today playing together and enjoying the beautiful fall weather.

 

We tossed bean bags.

 

We fed the baby calf named Carson.

 

 

We ate lots of yummy food.

We painted pumpkins.

Mrs. Park painted our faces.

We made smiley and funny faces.

 

 

And we went on a hay ride.

We couldn't have asked for a better day to spend time laughing and playing with our friends.

Happy Autumn!
