Fall Festival

If you were driving by Guest Palace park on Thursday morning you might have noticed a crowd of mothers, fathers and children having a great time! Over 60 people joined us for the First Annual(ok, maybe it won't be every year, but it could be!) Fall Festival for Homeschoolers in Abu Dhabi. We had games..donut eating contest, cakewalk, horseshoes, beanbag toss, bobbing for apples, and even facepainting. We started the morning with brunch and a moment to share something we are thankful for. The entertainment during the meal was the donut eating contest. The morning progressed with fun for everyone, and some great opportunities to get to know other families in our homeschooling community.
What's next? On November 7th there will be a parents meeting at the Equestrian Club. Check the website for details.
By the way, in case you are on pins and needles wondering who won our donut contests...John Morton came away the winner for the teenagers, and the LaVallees..Victoria for the 10-12 year olds..and Simon for the 6-8 year olds cleaned up in those age groups! I'm afraid I can't remember who won in the youngest category, but I do remember there were a lot of powdered sugar faces!!!
