On Saturday, October 22, my royal sisters and I participated in the Gertens Halloween Festival. At this event, we helped kids make human sized scarecrows. When I was working at the scarecrow activity, the kids made their scarecrow unique and special to them. The older girls read stories with lots of emotion to the little kids. Everyone got to be in charge of a game, such as pumpkin tossing, bowling, spin the wheel, and tic tac toe. Also, the most popular activity we managed was the scary bouncy house maze. At this event I got to use my communication skills to help the children, and talk to their parents. At this event I learned to become more comfortable sharing instructions and making conversations with other people.
