Spring Carnival

.

Photobucket
Each year the school has a spring carnival.



Photobucket
It is a way for teachers to raise money for for their classroom stuff and for other organizations such as sports teams to raise funds for travel.



Photobucket
If a class or organization want to participate they must have some kind of fun game and prizes and volunteers to man the games. People buy tickets for a dollar each and each game costs a certain amount of tickets.


Photobucket
Things can also be sold for tickets. This room was selling colorful pens and pencils. Other places had t shirts and sweatshirts.


Photobucket
This booth was called "What's Your Speed?" They had a baseball backstop and a radar gun.



You throw thew the ball at the backstop and you could see how fast you could pitch the baseball.



Photobucket
They had medals for the winners in different age groups.



Photobucket
I love watching everybody when they pitch.



Photobucket
They all make really great faces.



Photobucket
Another popular activity is facepainting. It also has the longest line so I was glad that my kid didn't want his face painted.



Photobucket
This little girl loved her butterfly face.



Photobucket
The first grade class' Teddy Bear Cake Walk is very popular.



Photobucket
The room is always full of people.



Photobucket
Pay your ticket and pick your number. When the music starts walk around the circle. When the music stops you stand on the number you landed on.



Photobucket
Then they reach in a can and pick a number. If they pick the number your standing on you win a cake. Lots of fun.



Photobucket
Little kids love Carnival, but so do big kids.

Yay, I'm glad you got some face painting photos, cause I didn't get ANY! AND, I didn't mean to do face painting, it was a last second deal! I was there an hour and a half after the carnival ended to FINISH the line I had. Sheesh.

Like I've said before, you guys do so much more there in terms of community events - obviously when there isn't "fun" to go to, you make your own. You're really lucky in that way, in that sense of community. And, the carnival looks like it was fun!
