We went to the Fall Fest at Fancyburg Park in Upper Arlington today. I never knew they had such an event until yesterday, so we decided to go as they weather was nice. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a very nice and well attended event. Katherine is still too young to get into all of the activities they had for kids, but there were plenty of things to do including a huge inflatable slide among other inflatable play areas.

There were stations for making scarecrows, carve pumpkins and many other activities. In a few years, Katherine should have a great time at this event. As it was, she seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere — she loves being around other children.
One of the first things we happened upon was a show by Mark Rosenthal of Animal Magic. He combined showing and teaching about exotic animals with magic. We didn’t get to see the whole show, but we did see a leucistic rat snake . The difference between a leucistic snake and an albino is that the leucistic snake has no color. An albino will have pink in the eyes whereas the leucistic has black eyes.

This was a very nice surprise of an event for us and I am sure we’ll be back next year.
