Octo-Bird Fest- Fall Fun

One of the reasons I love living in a bigger city is all the free or affordable events. I love the events that are geared for family and children the most! :)

This weekend our local art museum had a big event, the Octo-Bir Fest. It is a great event for kids. Majority of the events were free or VERY affordable.

My kids both had fun on a beautiful, sunny, and warm day! The kids got to play some games, do some crafts, look at some of the art in the outside garden, decorate a pumpkin, and my favorite we did a caricature! What do you think of the caricature? :) I love my son's in the picture but me and my daughter look a bit odd. hahaha!

The crafts included a sand art pumpkin which my daughter loved, stamping on some birds, and a ghost. My daughter said her favorite thing was decorating a pumpkin. She decorated her pumpkin with some pipe cleaners, fabric, and marker. :) I will try to get some pictures up of it later. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their fall fun! :)
