Fall Fest

Today we went to the annual Fall Festival on base here at Sigonella. The festival has lots of food, crafts to buy, wine to taste, and rides for the kids. There was an adult Fear Factor type game, a live band, and kiddie games. A good time was had by all!

They had a fundraiser where they were locking people in jail, to be bailed with money of course. Ellie voluntarily went in several times.
The American Red Cross had a booth where you could search for random body parts in a thing of 'gook' for $1.. guaranteed a prize. Say no more, we're in! Ellie got an eyeball.. only later to be exchanged for a little toy ghost. I think Val ended up finding an ear.. she traded it for a squirt gun (great) Notice she had to use a glove. That's our little miss Val.
and of course, rides!

Oh, yeah! And I love that photo of Val lying in the grass, too - so pretty!

It's funny to see the kids playing with EOD robots - something most kids will never see in their lifetimes.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
