carnival


Seminary is wrapping up. Brad convinced me to wrap it up with style,
so I threw my kids a
carnival!
Admission?
scripture mastery quiz

Attractions?
corn hole, pitch-a-fit, caricatures*, arm wrestling*,
kissing booth*, guessing games, and a concession stand*

Prizes?
balloons, lollipops, ring pops, and a gold fish
Carnies?
j&l, kaci, brad, and me

My kids rock! I got their usual shock and awe at doing something so elaborate at 6am. They had a lot of fun, were super grateful for my efforts, and let me take pictures. I just might miss teaching seminary after all.

******okay a little explanation for those of you who care!******
Kissing booth? Kaci was the carnie. She had a bowl full of chocolate kisses and when someone asked her for a kiss she'd day "it's chocolate!".
Arm Wrestling? L. was the carnie. She's might be more petitie than most of my students. But, she had an amazing fake tattoo that would scare anybody senseless. Thanks for dressing the part!
Caricatures? J. drew quick pictures of the kids on the spot. They loved it. He's super talented.
Concession stand? I thought I was hilarious. I did breakfast-on-a-stick. I used some skewers and stuck a whole apple or orange and a muffin on it. I wish I would have taped the juice box or chocolate milk on it too, but they were already so heavy. If I had had those cool steel ones I would have for sure.
OH! and since I was using my precious seminary budget for this, I have to mention that I did everything but the food for $20. Well worth it if you ask me.
