We decided to got to the Denver Rescue Mission's fall festival at our Harvest Farm facility. This is a rehab facility in northern Colorado. It is a beautiful place and this festival is the only real fundraiser we have for it each year. The place is very crowded on weekends and in the afternoons during the week, which is why we went in the morning during the week. As you can see, we had the place nearly to ourselves.
This is the pumpkin pitch. Awesome game. Pretty self explanatory. All the Petrie boys made repeated contact with their pumpkins.!
And this is Heath feeding the "Eddie" pygmy goat.
Then we drove an hour back to Denver, missed a violin lesson, crammed a dinner down our throats, took Cade to Taekwon Do to test for his next belt, then off to a birthday party for one of his church friends.
Cade did awesome at testing. Testing is usually done with a small group of kids from each rank, but Cade was the only one in his rank this go around. He had all 80 pairs of eyes in the studio watching him, and he did sooooo well. And got the loudest applause of the evening. After that, he had to ask permission to leave the mat early (he didn't say it was to go to a birthday party) and got another big round of applause. It was cool to be his dad at that moment. Cade is now a cammo belt. Green will be in early December. Heath will test for cammo in December.

I thought I was seeing babe Ruth swinging for the fence - but it was Kyle. Great going and it is fun to see all the activities. mb
PS - the wind is really blowing & something just made a loud noise on the roof, so I better go check it out.
Awesome job on the test Cade!
Yeah, Parents DO have very proud moments! Congrats, Cade! mc
PS. your family sounds like it is competing with Schmidts & most especially HB for the BUSIEST schedule! :-)
SO - Does someone pitch the pumpkin - or a machine?
Looks kinda messy - but fun. Great pictures!
Poor pumpkins
It was one of the program guys, and I think he enjoyed it.
It really wasn't messy-surprisingly.
