fall festival

Wednesday night our church had our Annual Fall Festival.  

This years the theme was "Once Upon a Time".  We were supposed to bring a children's storybook to life!!

As you can see, our class chose

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

**The head on our poster is actually our executive pastor!! We thought it would be funny to play a little joke on him.  Unfortunately he wasn't even there.  Our Senior Pastor texted a picture to him though!!

We both thought this was the best part of our booth.  The church staff got a pretty good laugh out of it too!!

We had just about every character represented at our booth.

Matt and I were The Yellow Brick Road and Dorothy.

Alicia was the TinWoman and Ray was the Scarecrow.

Eric was the Lion.

Julie was the Cyclone.

Michel was a scarecrow and Julie was a munchkin.

Carissa and Joel were both munchkins.

Their sweet dog, Leo, was Toto, for the evening. 

He was perfect.  I got to carry/walk him around all evening!!

Jonathan and Tammy represent The Poppy Field

Justin was a scarecrow and Johanna was an Emerald City person.

Jenny was Auntie Em and Tim was the Wizard.

Courtney was The Good Witch and Paxton was a flying monkey.

The only character we didn't have was The Bad Witch, but it was okay because......

"Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead."

 We had a "Ding Dong" walk for our game.  The children had to follow the yellow brick road,

and if they landed on the witch, they got a Ding Dong!!

The kids loved it!!

We had a blast and can't wait to do it all over again next year.

But until then.....

"There's no place like home!!"
