Fall Fair

 This past weekend we went to the Fall Fair at the boys school. It was their first year putting it on and they did a fantastic job!

Here are Madison, Hailey, Reid, and Everett riding on the hayride. It was basically a motorcycle with a truck bed. They rode it around the track at the school. We don't have very many hayfields here, so you have to take what you can get :) 

But the kids really enjoyed it!

They had lots of fun games with fun prizes and the boys enjoyed them all!

They had a "jail" where you could pay 10 kuai to put a friend in jail. They could then either pay 15 kuai to not go,or stay in for 5 minutes. E got put in 3 times by his new friends at school, and although he acted like he didn't like it, I know he was secretly loving it :) He did decide to become a sheriff to help put people in jail, and it kept him safe from going back in!

(by the way--this was a great way for the school to make money! it cost them nothing and once it caught on, it was FULL!)

They also had a game where you raced to see who could eat a doughnut the fastest without your hands. Doughnuts are a rare treat over here, so E was super excited to play this game. And this picture was taken by his mean mom who was laughing, i mean encouraging him, as he played. E has no front teeth and is missing one on the bottom. He really didn't stand a chance :)

He did finish the doughnut, but did not win the race!

Overall the Fall Fair was really fun!! It was great to meet some of their classmates and see the kids interact with their friends.
