Lemme Carnival

Each year our elementary school has a carnival in the fall. The kids so look forward to playing the games and earning prizes.

Rebecca fell in love with the duck pond. She'd stand by it and pull a duck out look at it, put it in back and get another one out. The only way we could get her away from the pond was with a sucker. After the sucker was gone and she was good and sticky, she was getting bored, so we took her back to play in the duck pond some more.


Ammon really wanted to win a blue soccer bag for his soccer gear. He tried earning it with a baseball game, but they were out of them. Later him and Corrine went into this booth where they zip it up and tickets blow all over and you have to catch them. To get a prize they had to get a ticket with a star on it. When they were in the booth they got 1 or 2 tickets blowing around. Then Ammon saw a big pile of them on the ground and picked them up. I was sure the kids in charge would say he didn't win, but instead they looked at his hands full of tickets and said "I bet you have one with a star in there. Go get a prize." At the prize bucket Ammon saw what he had been looking for a blue soccer bag!

Ammon was super cute at the carnival pointing out his new friends from his class. This was his 1st week, so he couldn't remember all of their names, but he recognized their faces. He even ran off with some to play on the play structure.

Corrine was quiet and took a while to decide what she wanted to spend her tickets on. She decided that she wanted to spend 6 tickets and go in the bounce house. The line was so long, and it was near the end of the carnival. Luckily she was the last group to go in and it was so worth the wait.



Simeon (aka-mister independent) ran right off. He played some games, then ran out to the field to play football with some friends. He really wanted to win a WII game bundle in the raffle, so he spent his own $1 to put into it. He was pretty dissapointed when someone won it.
