Friday Night - Party Night!

Last Friday we traded "Friday Night, Movie Night" for the school carnival.  One of the middle school's where Kevin works was having its annual carnival.  Thinking the carnival would be mostly for older kids, Kevin and I were both going to work at the carnival and the girls were going to hang out with the Nelson's.  On Thursday we got the flyer, and the carnival looked like a blast.  There were going to be activities that the girls would enjoy.  So we rescheduled with the Nelson's and I flaked on the "working" part and opted for "playing".  Jenny if you are reading this, I hope you will forgive me:)  We had an awesome time. 

Of course, I went armed with a plan.  We hit the face painting first, since I knew the lines would get crazy.  Each of the girls picked out what they wanted painted on their faces and the colors.  I think they did an awesome job and so fitting for each of them.  Sidney picked a cute little lizard that perfectly matched her top.

Kendall opted for the flower.  When the lady asked her what color, she wanted all of them!  Imagine that.

 After the face painting, we hit all of the other games.  The girls went "fishing" for candy, tossed bean bags, played with Legos.  Then it was time to eat.  They said they were starving, but really only ended up eating the chips.  It was truly a treat! 

After fueling up, they were ready to hit the gym.  Sidney and Kendall jumped in the bounce house several times.  Kendall will tell you that she ran through the obstacle course 30 times.  Sidney in her usual style acted brave as if she wanted to do the obstacle course too.  However when she was given the opportunity, she wanted no part of it.  Kendall begged and pleaded to do the Velcro wall, but seriously...maybe next year!  It looked pretty crazy. 

After all of that excitement, we settled in at the cake walk.  Kendall's expression below explains it all.  We did the cake walk AT LEAST 20 times and not one cake.  In Rebecca's words, "Is that even possible?"

Oh and if anyone is curious, I think they slept in until 7 the next morning.  Yes, that is sleeping in.
