The Fall Festival was a hit! We won a prize for being the best Group Idea for the parade. We were the Erickson Funny Farm. KJ was a Chicken, Ella was a sheep, and Aimee was a cow. It was really cute.
Daddy made the fence and then our good friend Denny helped me attach it to the wagon the morning of the parade. Grandma bought a bunch of candy to throw out to all the people watching and it all went. We had a lot of competition this year but we still won a prize. It was once again a lot of fun. I twas amazing to me how many people look forward to our parade appearance every year. They always want to see "those triplets"!
Aren't they cute!
After the parade was over we then spent the rest of the day enjoying the festival. They had a funky hair booth this year so all of the kids wanted to get their hair colored. It was a lot of fun!
There was also a Ferris Wheel and the tallest slide in MN was there too. The kids loved the slide and KJ would have spent the day going down the slide over and over again. However, it was not cheap to ride so we had to limit him.
There was also a race track and a train at the festival and the kids just loved it. There was also a petting zoo and tons of kids games to play. 
At the end of the day we spend the last hour dancing to the music. KJ would go drag everyone he knew out on the dance flooer with him. He had Grandma, Mommy, Sue, Uncle T, Kristin, and the list could go on. It was fun to see how much the kids really enjoyed dancing. They were pretty good little dancers too.
Overall, the festival was a hit. The kids had a hard time going to sleep that night because they kept talking about all they saw and did that day at the festival. They are already looking forward to next year. Now I just need to get my thinking cap on to figure out what we will be in the parade for next year.

Adorable idea! I just caught up on you and read about the almost fire. Holy Cow! How scary! I am so thankful everything turned out OK.
Hi! The Funny Farm idea is awesome, and cute to boot! the costumes and the wagaon looked perfect.
I also liked the pics of their FUNKY HAIR, how do they do that?? Do they just "rat" the heck out of the girls hair and spray it with color or what? talk about BIG hair! LOL!
What were the other years....let's see if I can remember?..... peas in a pod, 3 little monkeys, is that it, or was there a third time before this year? Did they go as teeny munchkins?
