Stetson (age 6) made all of the signs! They were posted all through the house with arrows directing us to the "carnival".
Kennedi made and sold the tickets that we had to have for all the games!
This is just one of the many fun games they had set up. Stetson made up this one. We had to throw a tennis ball at the cups and try to knock them over!
This is my attempt at the game. We were in my Pilates room/storage room hence all the totes and boxes that need to go out to the garage to be put away, add it to my never ending to do list.
This is what I got the biggest kick out of, the prize table. Yes that is my tooth brush, colored hair gel, cookies I had just made, and some other household items how funny is that?!
Don't you just love how creative kids can be? Kennedi and Stetson had spent all afternoon setting up their "carnival". They had signs to show the way and if they were open or closed, they had tickets, different attractions, and prizes!! Justin and I were the carnival goers and had such a fun time! I remember doing stuff like this when I was a kid. I can't figure out what happened to all of those creative juices though, maybe it's because as we grow to adults we are inhibited more by our fears of failing, or of what other people will think. Oh to be young again and spending hours playing school, house, putting on plays, or what ever other crazy idea we would come up with. What great memories to look back on so fondly. I bet my Mom and Dad had a few chuckles at us kids too!
