We headed downtown Friday night and got there just in time for the pumpkin run. Abby ran with her cousins for her pumpkin and then we headed to Main Street. We guessed at candy games, saw balloon artists, looked at drag racing cars, painted pumpkins, got our face painted, pet animals and met up with lots of friends. It was a perfect night!
Then...we woke up this morning. Abby asked for eggs for breakfast. She loves eggs! But then she didn't want to eat them because her throat hurt to swallow. I peeked inside and there are WHITE SPOTS! Oh, no! We waited until Urgent Care opened and we were the first ones in line. Yep, it's a confirmed case of strep. I can't wait until this sickness in our family is over. I'm so sick of being sick! Abby is a real trooper. She was a happy girl all day. We rented the new Tinker Bell movie and hunkered down inside. We're praying often and fervently that Grace doesn't come down with it.
Meanwhile, I took lots of pictures of pumpkinfest, enjoy!
Abby and her cousins with their awesome pumpkins. 
The streets get decorated with pumpkins every year. This year's theme was Celebrating Michigan. Abby loved looking at all the different set-ups.
Painting the pumpkins was such a hit. There were so many kids waiting for their turn, we were glad they didn't run out of pumpkins before we had a turn.

She loves butterflies. So of course she wanted one painted on her cheek. We're not able to wash it off yet. We'll see how long it lasts.
A big local farm brings all their animals downtown for the kids to play with and pet. This was another highlight for Abby. 
Here she is holding a baby chick. She had to learn to scoop it up gently with her hands and then hold on tightly.
Oh yeah, and Grace was there too. She spent the whole night in the stroller laughing at the antics of her sister. Such a trooper!
