Afton Alps Fall Festival

Afton Alps had their Fall Festival this weekend. We went right after soccer this morning to fit in all the activities at the fair.
We started off riding up the hill on the 4 person chair lift. Funny how in the winter it doesn't feel so far off the ground. Must be all that snow?? Going up wasn't so bad and the ride down. I know it's all in my mind but maybe it was because the kids were next to me with so little keeping them from falling out, just a single bar to hold on to across our laps.

Going up the hill. Doesn't look so bad from this view at the bottom.


At the top of the ski hill. One more step and they'd all tumble down a big drop off.

















Going down the hill. It's was a nice ride down but not as colorful for fall as I would have liked.
















The ski chalet and all the fair activities below.









The obstacle course










Fall colors

The kids waited in line to get a chance to race through the obstacle course.
















On your mark, get set, GO!!!!!!! Celina...
Celina was up and over in no time. Easy stuff for her.















Whoosh... Down the slide to the finish line.

Now it's Logan and Papa's turn. Lets see who wins!!

Looks like Logan's in the lead.

Logan made it up faster

And down he comes...leaving Papa in the dust..

Heal burn.. Papa tried to slow him self on the way down with his heals. Not a good idea without socks!!!

It was then my turn to race against Logan in the obstacle course. It always looks easier then it is. I got over the first Blue tubes and didn't realize how cushy the floor was and flew into the climbing wall. Logan and I were neck and neck all the way through until we got on the slide. He just zipped down but after seeing the results of Steve's heal burn I took my time going down the slide. Not that it helped any, I still went down super fast but didn't have any burns on my feet!!
Pumpkin painting. Celina picked out her perfect pumpkin to paint.






















There was paint in all colors, glitter, glue, stickers ...you name it, all to decorate the kids pumpkins.



Celina and Logan both getting artistic on their pumpkins.
