Harvest Party


Every year we have gone to the Palmer's Fall Harvest party at their barn. It has been the most awaited event of the fall. Everyone from the Stake shows up, great food, entertainment, games and just so much fun all around. Well this year we got ready to go to. Owen and Lance have still been under the weather so we left them home and drove down with my parents.
The weather was kind of icky this year and so I was alittle hesitant as to how long it was going to last. Well it lasted for about a half hour. We ran around, visited with friends and ate and then the storm approached pretty fast.
Every year the party begins when the parachuters fly in to start the party. Last year Spider man and Batman flew in and Keaton and Andrew were so excited. Well this year Spider Man and Super Man were suppose to parachute in but due to icky weather they canceled them. My boys were so bumned. That is what they anticipate the most. Well instead of the superheros they settled for an airplane flying overhead to drop off the candy.

I am not sure if you can see the airplane but it flew overhead about 3 times dropping off candy. The first time he dropped too soon and all the candy went for the ditch bank, the second time, it dropped onto the house and the gutters caught most of it and then the third time no one was really expecting it but he dropped it all over the top of us and we got pelted. But it was ok, my kids got tons of candy. They soon forgot that it hurt when it hit their heads.



The weather got pretty icky, pretty fast so everyone started to head home. It was a bummer because this was the funnest party ever. Oh well, maybe next year will work out better. This is the first year that it ended up with bad weather.
We had fun! It was short lived but we had a good time.
