Our family does not celebrate Halloween. We are happy to celebrate the harvest and all the good things that God blesses us with as far as food goes. We also are thankful for all our many blessings. So last night we spent the evening at our church for a Harvest celebration. We had a lot of fun. There were grilled hot dogs, chips, homemade apple crisp, potato chips, Buffalo dip, a variety of desserts and pumpkin butter. The food was fantastic and the fellowship was great.
They had a few games as well. The first was tug-of-war. While our children along with the other children played tug of war. Then after we finished eating. They began the games. The first was to guess how many candy corns were in a jar. Our baby girl won that game. Then they did a competition to see how many words the children and teens could make out of the phrase "Happy Harvest Time". My oldest son along with several other teens won that one by coming up with over 100 words a piece. Then everyone including the adults competed in a Word Search Game. I was the first one to find all the words. So I won a prize.
The last game was a contest for the children and teens. The younger ones went first. We did not have anyone competing in that group. Then the teens competed. A donut was put on a string and they had to eat the doughnut without using their hands. Joseph and Nathan competed in this group. Jacob could not because they were eating doughnuts. There were 7 people competing in this activity and Joseph won.
