School Carnival...

Monday was the carnival at Maddy's school. He had been looking forward to it and was excited to go after his soccer class. My sister Stacy and nephew Jace were able come with us (Jamie has been sick with strep throat.) Steve was also able to come for a little while so of course the kids were excited about that.

The kids loved launching their paper rockets and then chasing after them...

Maddy wasn't too happy about the prize he got at the Fish Pond (one of those popper things) and so I asked the girl working behind the curtain if he could trade. Of course she said yes and actually asked if we could take her spot for a few minutes while she ran and took care of something. Maddy wanted to do it and thought it was pretty cool that he got to pick the prizes for the kids...

There were a bunch of carnival games, blow-up bouncy houses, face painting, hair coloring, dunk tank (how did I not take any pics???) and a big BBQ. They kids also loved playing on the playground (Maddy was so excited to finally show me the "crooked monkey bars" he loves playing on every day at recess.) The kids had a blast and we were there until they were taking everything down.
