Elmo makes his debut!

Since I always have to work during our church's Fall Festival, we decided to head over to Prestonwood's Fall Festival last night to play. Jackson refused to wear his Elmo costume at our Fall Festival so I was determined to get him in it for some pictures at Prestonwood. He was the hit of the parking lot. As we walked through, we heard all kinds of comments about the cute little Elmo.

Once there we ran into the Palmer family. Brady and Jackson had a good time just rolling on the grass. Dianna and I decided we shouldn't have bought any tickets, we should have just let them play on the lawn. Since we had tickets though, Michael and I took Jackson over to the bounce houses. He's talked about the bounce houses since our Fall Festival last weekend so we knew he'd be thrilled. He wanted to jump on everything! They had several for little kids so he got to bounce as much as he wanted. Notice in the progression of pictures that his Elmo costume makes its way to my arms...he got so hot jumping, we had to ditch the costume.

After jumping, we walked over to the huge area of toddler games. Jackson had a blast going fishing, throwing baseballs, and kicking soccer balls but his favorite part was collecting the candy at the end. It was a fun night all the way around.
