Friday the 13th was our annual carnival at school. This school puts on an amazing carnival. I've been waiting to blog about it because I wanted to post how many thousand dollars they raised this year. It's taking too long for the PTO to count all their money, so I'll have to update that part later. They have a lot of small businesses sponsor different activities which cuts down on their overall cost. There is a big silent auction too, which is all donation, plus the bake goods. They always have a couple rides like the orbiter, and a giant climbing wall. There's always a petting zoo, Karaoki, entertainment like a band or magician, and good food options. This year besides the cotton candy and crazy stuff, they had grilled chicken skewers and smoothies. A lot of Jr. high and high schoolers come, along with moms, dads, grandparents, and cousins. I've been to a school carnival every year since I started kindergarten, but this school is always way over the top.
This year the weather was perfect, not hot, not windy, and no rain. I ran one of the jump houses from 5:30-9:00. I had set-up a schedule so that a couple sixth graders would come in shifts and I could wander around or get something to eat. Little kids in the jump house are pretty crazy. There are some that never want to leave. A couple darling sisters (maybe kindergarten and 4) must have taken more than 30 turns. They were bouncing even when they were waiting in line. Toward the end of the evening they were acting a little drunk. One rolled off the entrance twice and landed on her head both times, but she never stopped smiling and giggling.
