It was supposed to be Friday but it got rained out so Saturday afternoon from 4-7 we finally had our day care carnival. It was an end of summer appreciation party for my day care families. 7 kids couldn't come but we still had 25 of us. Dan & LaVonne & kids and Kyle & Kira came with their Grandpa Dean too. We were glad to have them all join us!
The menu: hot dogs, corn dogs, chips, peanuts, nachos, popcorn, lemonade, eclairs & cream puffs. For games we had a ducky pond, dolphin ring toss, football bean bag game, ping pong jar toss, basketball hoop, air table hockey, sand art activity, mystery box, lion/tamer photo board, penny search, knock a can, and an animal cookie guessing jar. Don't forget the balloons, cotton candy, glow sticks, suckers & treat bags! Everyone earned tickets for prizes. Then Smooches the clown & her assistant (her little dog Bailey) came to do face painting.
We had a great time and the weather was beautiful! This is something I've wanted to do for a few years and enjoyed putting it together. Mom came down to help set up and help out during the carnival. I'm so glad that worked out, I never could have done it myself! Dan & LaVonne stayed and helped us clean up-that was so nice! A great way to end summer! Next I need to plan a birthday party.....that's sounding a lot easier! Lots of pictures follow!

Glad you had nice weather for it! And nice that Grandpa brought Kyle & Kira over. They said they had a really fun time! Kyle said he'd never been to such a quiet carnival before. He said there wasn't even a "ruckus"! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL@Kyle....Hehehe. Anyway, Stac...VERY cool blog and great lookin' carnival you had there too, even without the ruckus. ;) I bet you were glad about that! Maybe I should make a blog too...dunno. Get doing so much stuff..that's the first thing I thought when you sent this. Well, no...the first was, wow it looks GREAT...really cool! and the second was...where does she find the TIME with all she does??? Hehe. Good job...I'll keep checkin' in! (PS...used to love going to Walworth fair...can't believe those prices. We used to go on demo night when I lived at home, but I would have just LOVED to see the Beach Boys!!!) M. :)
