School Carnival

Last night was the Carnival at the Elementary School. The kids were so excited to go...of course. Years past, they have had 1 blow up slide and some games that the PTA volunteers man. This years flyer showed all sorts of blow up slides. I told my kids not to get to excited, those were pictures from other places, and may not be at this one. This is what we saw when we arrived....

Spiderman, a shark, a castle and more. No disappointment here. The kids got right to waiting in line.

They decided to start with the shark. Here they are trying to escape from its jaws.

These things are so slippery. You wonder sometimes if they'll make it up. I know I have a hard time. Here they struggle to get up the castle.

Going down is not so hard. WEEEEE!!!!

They had this one ride that was like a parachute. The kid climbed in the chamber and was strapped into a harness which was attached to the top of the chute. The attendant then exited the chamber and zipped it shut. The air started to build and lifted the kids up until it topped out. They hung there for a bit...smiling hugely, and then the attendant unzipped the chamber and the kids sunk to the ground. They loved it. I hope so, because we stood in line for 45 minutes for that one ride!!! Crazy. The first one is Gracie and then TJ...not that you can really see them. LOL

We were so hot by the end of this ride, that we slowed down quite a bit. We had snow cones to cool us off. If you can believe it, the people let the kids put their own syrup on them. So you can imagine the mess! Have a little ice with your syrup.

The kids had a blast! And I enjoyed watching them have a blast. lol
