Fall Festival 2009



Last Sunday was the Fall Festival at our church. William wore his pilot costume and received tons of compliments and a few salutes! Several people asked him what airline he worked for and he answered, "American Airlines" or "United" depending on his mood.



I showed William pictures from last year's festival and so he was totally pumped to try the games again and win prizes. I showed him several pictures and one was a game where you turn over a numbered duck and select a prize from the bin with the matching number. For some reason, this is the game that stuck in his mind. We had to play it first!




William also played Plinko, air baseball, toss the ball in Dr. Seuss' hat, a ring toss




and then he saw.........the bounce house. William has NEVER EVER wanted anything to do with a bounce house. But a lot can happen in a year. He saw a few of his buddies from preschool jumping around inside a bounce house that had a slide. After watching for awhile, he told me he wanted to go inside the bounce house with his friends! So, I took off his pilot costume and he jumped inside like it was Christmas. He never looked back. I'm telling you, he LOVED LOVED LOVED it. He bounced, he climbed, he went down the slide a million times! He had a total blast.

When it was time to leave, he cried so hard. It was sad but we were among a small pack of people who shut the place down! I'm so happy he tried a new experience and I know we'll be bouncing a bunch in the future!
