Day of Carnival Fun

Well, we finally got to experience our very first school carnival! Ian had been counting down the days until it was at last here. Since Dad had already made "manly" plans for that day..which included an all day trip to the lake for a spot of fishing, I was very relieved to have some much needed help and company for our foray into school carnival fun. Luckily, Aunt Alice, Bailey, and Nanny decided to go with us for Ian's special day and the boys had a blast! They got to go "fishing" in the fish pond (came home with 2 new goldfish for it too!), did the cake walk, lollipop tree, skeet ball, wheel of fortune, and several other fun games. Needless to say, it wore us big girls out! I wish I had a fraction of the energy these two boys have!

Mmmmm, lollipops....Trevor & Ian's favorite!!

Frog jumping, anyone??



Ian was cracking us up on the skeetball...he kept throwing it like a baseball...maybe he should try TeeBall next??
Trev got a little help from his Nanny for the frog jump

Trevor's very favorite game....spin the wheel!

WOW- what a fun carnival! I wish our schools did something like that at the end of the year! Lily's preschool is having a fun day at the park, but its a church program, not public school. I'm not sure if our public schools do anything fun like a carnival!

Annie probably doesn't remember, but our kids just got to do "Field Day" at the end of the year-basically a track meet where you have a partner and just compete against them. Sounds like you had a great time. Glad to hear it about the fish, I supply goldfish for out church Halloween Festival, because I think all kids ought to go home from a carnival with a fish:D
