We don't have pictures of the first of the night's craziness. One of the rooms was set up as a dance area. There was a disco ball* and tunes from the 70s and 80s blaring away. I really didn't think Julia would like it, but Dave took her in there, and after standing around watching for a bit, she started dancing and running around in circles chasing the reflections off the disco ball. At some point she was crawling on the floor trying to catch the reflections and she fell and hit her chin and bit her tongue hard enough to draw blood. That didn't stop her, though.
Eventually we got her outside where there were a lot of cute booths for the kids ...
We thought this was throw the beanbag at Jesus, but the sign said it was Goliath.
Julia didn't really understand the concept of the Candy Corn Toss.
But she picked up nearly every piece of candy corn that everyone else threw on the ground and put them in her pumpkin!
Getting a little encouragement from her friends as she crawls inside the bounce house.
This was about as upright as she got, but she had a ball!
See?(I was very surprised since the only other time she's been in a bounce house she refused to go more than a foot or two inside ... and she was the only kid in there!)
The Giant Slide!(She insisted that we get in line. It was all her idea.)
The first time, the person in charge slid down with her.
The second time, she tossed her down on her own!(And though she doesn't look like it, Julia LOVED it. She threw a royal fit when we said she couldn't go again and it was time to go home!)
Dax was pretty ready to go.*I couldn't think of the phrase "disco ball" when I was typing this up so I Googled "ball" and "seventies" and it was at the top of the list.

Throw the bean bag at Jesus would have been much funnier, but I guess Goliath makes more sense.
Are the kids dressing up this year?
Well, Dax will be a spider. Unless the costume still fits Julia. Then she might be a spider and he can be something else. Or he might still be the spider and she will be some other gender-neutral creature.
Or Dave might get busy and make them the sushi costumes he's been threatening to do.
Sushi costumes would be AWESOME!!!
