October 29th

I first went to the girls soccer game. The game was a super important game because it determined where the playoffs or something like that are being held: here or Nebraska. It was a super tough game, and was so much more entertaining to watch than girls games usually are. The ref was a loser and penalized our team a lot, but never the other to the point of calling back a goal because of ‘interfering with the goalie’ or something like that on a corner kick. The game tied 0-0 after 2 overtimes, but I think that because of the other teams stats playoffs are being held in Nebraska.

After that we went to the Fall Festival at Hannah and Jessica’s church. We first went to the pumpkin patch and all the kids got to choose their own pumpkins. The best part was when Stevie, a little kid maybe 3 or 4, was carrying this huge (even by my standards it was pretty big) pumpkin back to the hay ride tractor that took us to the pumpkins. He made it across the whole field which was impressive. (Stevie is in purple)

After the pumpkin patch we went to the church for the festival. We played bingo and I won the first round :) After dinner we had a worship time, and then we had an auction followed by cowboy story time. Dr. Buxton shared a bunch of stories all about what a cowboy is, and of his time in the rodeo and a bunch of things like that.

We cleaned up, then Hannah and I went to the Barn Bash that the school put on. A huge barn is rented out for the night, and there is line dancing and a bonfire and it’s just a lot of fun. I did dance once with Hannah, though it was just a basic step for swing dancing. There were horses that we fed and I found a horse with a fauxhawk. The bonfire was the best part because I love bonfires. I roasted marshmallows and made s’mores and it was amazing.
