Crazy carnival fun

Last night (Friday, March 20th) Hailey, Ryan and I got to go to our first school carnival. Hailey's school had it from 6:00-8:30 and both kids were so excited to go! :) We got there a little before 6:00 and Hailey took us all around the school to show us where things were at (she got to help with some things and found out other things during CARE as they were setting up when she was in CARE). If you look at Hailey's pants and wonder what was up with them, it was around 65 outside and she of course was HOT. This is how I picked her up from CARE and I think it was around 120 inside that school with all the kids and parents in there so I didn't make her put her pants back down. ;)

Our first stop ended up being the cake walk....there were only a few kids in there and I thought since we didn't have to wait, we might was well try. Ryan wasn't too sure of it...I had to hold his hand and walk along side him. The kids sat down when the music stopped, and the number called was the one right next to Hailey! So, they tried it again..up and moving around. Then the kids sat down again and wouldn't you know it...it was Ryan's number! There were Perkin's pies, yummy looking cakes with peanut butter cups, etc, but it was Ryan's pick and he picked this big green thing! :) Thankfully we were able to park close to the building because we had to bring the cake outside....I wasn't going to carry that thing around all night long! :)

The carnival theme was the Olympics, so all the games had flags and "sporting events" or something similar. The kids both participated in.....

bowling (in Hailey's classroom so she thought this was very neat!) and golf (Hailey got a hole-in-one the first time she did this!!)

basketball and hockey (Ryan couldn't wait to do this...it was "real hockey" so we had to do it twice! He was holding the stick the right way and go EVERY ONE IN! The lady there was a hockey mom and told me he needed to get in there, and she was wishing she had forms and information to give me! UGH!)


There was more activities, but I didn't take pictures of them all. It was fun seeing Hailey saying hi to all her classmates and having a good time at her school. We will miss Boulder Elementary next year (Hailey only goes there for kindergarten and then goes to a different school for 1st to 6th grades (her regular school doesn't have room for kindergarten right now)). But, we will be back at Boulder in 2010-2011 for Ryan's kindergarten year (yikes!).
