Carnival Weekend

We planned a community carnival in town for the first weekend of May.  It was a huge success and our children had a wonderful time!

Friday Night, May 4th...
We played late and ended up eating pizza at 8:30 p.m.  Everyone else was sacked, but Xavier walked back up to the square with me for a little more fun.

Saturday, May 5th
The fun started at noon on the second day and we went up mid afternoon.  The kids couldn't wait to get there everyday and ride the rides and see what friends were there!
He's a wild cat and he loved the rides!
Face Paint!
We worked hard to get business sponsors so that all the rides were FREE all weekend long.  This let us splurge on things like face painting and treats from the concession trailer!!
He got a batman....I guess I didn't get a pic of his finished product.
We stayed until bedtime again Saturday...because how often does the carnival come to our sleepy town, truly?

Sunday, May 6th
On Sunday we had worship outside on the square.  It was a beautiful day and worship was a HUGE success!  The kids could just be kids.  The music was wonderful.  It was really a perfect experience.
The carnival opened back up after worship but we headed out of town for Theo's birthday party - we'd had plenty of opportunities for bouncing, rides, and funnel cakes.
