Mars Fall Fest 2016

Introducing Mars Fall Fest 2016.  Each year I find myself saying, "Man this was another fabulous year!"  Mars never disappoints in this event. The staff at Mars did an amazing job, as always, decorating and going all out to make this another great Fall Fest for Mars' associates families.

This was our first stop to register and get our wristbands. Then we were off to collect candy and check out all the creative rooms that had been prepared.

This group made a Mad Scientist room.  All sorts of yucky specimens could be seen in these jars.

Gavin's face says it all!  YUCK!  (and very entertaining)

M&M turned M-A-D!

When the boys saw this room they about died!  My boys are pretty much obsessed with the Pokemon Anime show, the cards, and trading them with their friends.  So this was probably their favorite room we saw.

"Ash" was home.

You'd think I'd know the names of all these characters, but I seem to have forgotten. This one might be Staryu.

I think this might be Charmander and Squirtle.

And one of Xavier's favorites....Bulbasaur.

A blast from the past on this one.  Who ya gonna call?  Ghostbusters. This was super cool because everything glowed in the dark.

They even had glow-in-the-dark bowling.

A stop at Zootopia.

Tim's group did Beauty and the Beast.  I'm not gonna say this just because it's Tim's group, but they pretty much always have the best one.  The amount of attention to detail in every piece they use in there decorating is quite amazing.  Above is Lumiere.  He even spoke like him.

The table was set up beautifully.

They made the walls look like the castle.

Xavier is the Beast and Gavin as Cogsworth.  Reid was terrified of the actual man in the Beast costume so he was holding on to me for dear life.

And the infamous Belle and the Beast.  Pretty awesome costumes don't you think?

This was the outside of the castle depicting the little town Belle was from.  Cool huh?

Bob the Builder was right up Reid's alley.

A circus theme with some carnival style games.

Reid playing Plinko.

Then the boys had their fortunes told to them.

This girl was very believable.

Finding Dory.....

Trying to get all three boys in the same spot for a picture was pretty close to impossible, but here is the best we could do.

My silly jokester Gavin always knows how to make us smile!

They even dressed up the Big Yellow M&M wall.  

Now that my kids are pretty much stocked up with candy and I'm preparing for their sugar comas we have to say goodbye for another year.  The rooms definitely excited us and kept the kids totally entertained for hours.  Thank you Mars for always making this such a fun family event.
