So in October, Lane's parents joined us at the East Bay Waldorf School's Harvest Festival. The school is just down the street from us in El Sobrante. It's a little ironic, because I used to drive so far to bring Gabriela to this school for a parent child class when she was only two years old. Now we are down the street, at least we are enjoying their family fun days.
The Harvest Festival was a wonderful experience. I am so happy we went. There were carnival-type games for the kids, but in true Waldorf style, all the games were handmade and the prizes were too. Sweet little needle felted baby chicks and porcupines made out of tiny pine cones. I wanted to play the games so I could get some prizes!
Grandpa pushed Easton on the swing , which he loved.
The kids used apple corers to peel and core their own apples, then sprinkled them with cinnamon for a tasty healthy treat.
Grandpa and Easton did the cake walk. Unfortunately, they didn't win. But we went to a classroom that had been transformed into a little dessert shop with people playing their fiddles.
We grabbed some lunch there - it was all homemade organic deliciousness. But then there were the vendors and the fairyhouses. Oh my! The fairy houses were my favorite!
We stopped at the petting zoo and the kids thought it was hilarious to put the chickens on top of the donkey. I mean, who wouldn't?? We ran into some of Gabriela's homeschool buddies there. She was pretty excited.
There was also autumn crafts, a pumpkin patch, carriage rides, so many things that we didn't get to. I can't wait to go back next year!
