Fall Festival and football

Hunter's school had the Fall Festival on Saturday. It was raining and yucky out, but we decided to check it out anyway and get the kids out of the house for a bit. We hung out with the Duprey family--Chris & Nick (and Jack) stayed at the house to watch the U of M game. Angela and I took Hunter/Mason to the festival for a bit. The kids had a really fun time together and it was so neat to see them play so well together.

They both went on pony rides in the rain :)
Such a cute smile :)
I didn't have luck getting them both to smile at the same time. The had a popcorn machine, cotton candy, and other fun stuff in the gym at the school. Most people were crowded in their b/c of the rain. After the festival we came back to our house and the kids played while we watched the end of the football game. It was so funny b/c the boys both had to change their pants b/c they had gone down wet slides outside at the school. I took Hunter to his room to change and Angela took Mason to the bathroom to change his clothes. They both came out wearing the same exact sweatpants! I guess their mommies have good taste in clothing! They sat and did this clock puzzle so well together. They would put it together, dump it out, giggle, and do it again--probably 10 times! I was very happy that Hunter was doing a good job sharing with Mason.
This picture was dark, but it was so cute....Nick put the fight song on the ipod speaker thing. The boys were jumping around, yelling "go blue", and falling all over the kitchen floor. They were not even talking to each other, but were being so silly! We were cracking up. I think I have a video that I'll have to put up later. It made me think about how Hunter said one of his Asian friends at school doesn't speak English...I can see after watching Hunter and Mason that it doesn't matter. They can still play and interact without really talking. I guess young children have their own way of communicating and it doesn't matter if they speak the same language or not!
At the festival they had a table set up where you could paint with apple slices. Above is Hunter's masterpiece :)
We had a lot of fun with the Duprey's on Saturday and Hunter has been talking about playing with Mason every since...And us adults are happy b/c Michigan won! We can't wait for next weekend when we play MSU and hopefully win!

You are so good at getting them out of the house to do fun things! That is so awesome that Hunter is so good at playing with other kids. It sounds like he was totally ready for school!

Hunter is a real troublemaker if he's stuck at home for too long...I would go nuts if I didn't get out of the house with him.
