Chili Cook-off

This past weekend our church hosted our 3rd annual Chili Cook-off during what started off as a beautiful fall day. Everyone makes their favorite chili recipe with secret ingredients (think pumpkin, chocolate & beer) and brings it in a crockpot for all to taste. We provide all the toppings and dig in! We had a few outdoor games planned but the rain started coming down so we all stayed under the pavilion and did some activities with the kids.

Before the rain they played on the playground

After eating lots and lots of chili we decorated cookies.

Then we painted pumpkins which was Riley's first time handling a paint brush.

After much deliberation by our three judges...

We have a winner....

We ate and played till we were all tuckered out!

And then we played some more.
