Fall Festival

Nate's school threw a Fall Festival for all the kids... everything from face painting to games, from auctions to lots of good food. Elin and Nate spent a lot of time just playing on the playground with some friends.

Napping in the sand?

We got to eat dinner in Nate's cafeteria. I found out that Nate and his class actually eat lunch in their classroom, except for "hot lunch" day. The cafeteria felt so small to me , but I'm sure it feels just as big to those kids as mine did when I was in 1st grade.

Nate and Elin, and friends Anna and Sophia. Elin was SOOOO excited to see Sophia from her own school, she couldn't stop smiling.

No festival would be complete without face painting, right? The painters were the "older" kids volunteering, and our kids were happy to be guinea pigs. Here's Nate with his basketball that got partially wiped.

And Elin with her flower...

...and hearts.
