Primary Carnival

The Primary Carnival was such a big hit last year that we decided to do it again this year for all of the primary kids. Last year was warm and sunny and we were able to do it out in the church parking lot. This year it was cloudy and rainy, so we had to move into the gym last minute. But, despite the change in location, the kids still had a great time.

Here's Zach and Hailey doing the "cake walk." They were so excited to do it and Zach was excited to walk around on the numbers, after a year of preschool and a year of kindergarten, he knows his numbers well and loves that he can do it all by himself.


They were the only two playing at the beginning so guess who won the first two prizes? Yep, Zach and Hailey - yummy cupcakes!


One of the favorite booths was the balloon animal station. Who wouldn't get excited about getting a balloon animal when the person doing it looks this fun?


He's our neighbor across the street and is absolutely hilarious! The kids loved the animals he made, but I think they loved his hat and bowtie even more!

In addition to the cake walk and balloon animals, we also had a penny pitch, bean bag toss, duck pond, plinko, guessing jar, train ride, and two different stations were the kids could memorize articles of faith or write thank yous to their teachers to earn more tickets. The other favorite booth for our kids was the face painting booth. Zach chose a snake and Hailey chose some cherries - this isn't the best picture - my batteries were running out and I couldn't get the flash to turn on - but I love the look on Hailey's face.



Unfortunately, due to my batteries going out, I didn't get a picture of the on the train, but they had a blast riding around in the parking lot during their train ride. Even though it was sprinkling most of the time, it was still fun and they had a blast!
