We've dropped in on a tradition. Every year Celebration church hosts a carnival for kids. Its complete with every kids game you can remember from the school carnivals.. fish pond, face painting, darts, sucker pull, ring the pop bottle, leap frog, plinko.... the list goes on.
The church secretary and her daughter do an amazing job on the face paint. Brandon was a skeleton, Jessica was a butterfly and Maria had flowers. These pictures don't really do it justice, it was amazing and beautiful. Of course, I love this kind of stuff, because I couldn't do it at all even if you paid me.
The kids came home with books, puzzles, games, candy, and more stuff than you can imagine. They also came home with stuffed animals, as you can see. I was really excited about that one because there never seem to be enough stuffed animals around here. Oh, if there was some way to sound out sarcasm in a blog.
All the kids helped hand out fliers in the neighborhood earlier in the week and help set up the church the night before. Typically the carnival is held in the parking lot, but the weather was too questionable this year so inside they came.
Anika was a worker for the carnival. She ran the 'Spin the Wheel' game. As a worker, you get all the cotton candy, popcorn, and pop that you want. She was ok with that, but she wished she had gotten some candy, too. Anika has to report service hours to school and she got five hours alone just off this carnival between fliers, setting up and working, so that was a good deal, too.
I don't have a picture of Matt, but they spray painted his head red. It lasted several days. If you looked at it from the top it looked like a heart.
