School Carnival

Last Friday evening at Clifford's school was the annual Carnival. Earlier in the week I sent Clifford to school with $6 to purchase carnival tickets during the presale, where tickets were 5 for a $1 (whereas 4 for a $1 the night of). We ate dinner there, enjoying some hotdogs, pizza, nachos and pop between the four of us. We gave the boys fifteen tickets each to do what they like. They played some games and jumped in one of three bouncy houses. We bought some kettle corn to munch on (which was delicious!). There was also a silent auction to help raise money for the new playground equipment, though I didn't bid on anything. The carnival was a three hour event, but we only stayed for an hour. While I talked with another parent, Pete took the boys in to cash in their 'winning' tickets from the games they played for prizes. I took a few pictures, but I didn't realize the batteries were about to die, so the quantity and quality aren't the best. But you can see how much fun the boys had from the smiles on their faces :)
