This weekend there was yet another festival in Hoboken which was basically celebrating Autumn. This one was a little different as it was not sponsored by a school, it was thrown by the city of Hoboken and there was also no charge at this one - all rides and food were completely free (i.e. coming out of our tax dollars). It was a really pleasant day weather wise and there were a lot of fun activities - mazes, pumpkins, hay rides, pony rides, train rides and more.
Papi and Mateo look out onto the water with the same inquisitive look.

Inflatable Dragon - this was really cool, but I think he was too young. They basically walk along the inside of the dragon from the mouth to the tale. The one hiccup is they need to climb up these ropes (see green section of dragon) to then slide down (see purple section). Most of the kids were Mateo's age and there was a big bottle neck at the climbing the rope section because none of them knew what to do and were just looking around. Adults weren't really allowed on the inside so we were all trying to direct them by peeking through the window and yelling really obvious and unhelpful things like "climb the rope." Finally the man running the Dragon had to climb inside and pick them all up to get to the top of the slide which they all then slid down...completely chaotic.
Mateo investigates the hay before agreeing to walk through the maze.
After being satisfied with the investigation he agrees to give the maze a try and it was a success.
