The Great Green Jello

The GREAT GREEN JELLO Carnival.

Our stake held a carnival over the weekend. It was FANTASTIC! Definitely the best church party I've been to in a long time. It was well organized and had something for everyone of all ages. Of course there were BBQ sandwiches, corn on the cob and chips for lunch.

A huge air trampoline with a built in slide for the children. They had adults regulate which age group was allowed to play. Under 5 Years old. 5-9 years, 9 and older (occasionally an adult would join it but not for long!) This was another air toy. It was a jungle gym and had a climbing wall in it. The older kids preferred this to the jumping one, but the little kids still wanted a turn to run through the obstacle course.

There were carnival games to play. Bean bag toss. Dart throws. Ball tosses. Horse shoes, and this cute little horse racing course. Anne was a bit short...she just ran right under the course rope and ran through the field with her horse. Grace obviously won the race simply because she stayed in the boundaries! Oh well, candy for everyone!

My barefoot babes running through the grass. Grace made sure Anne was safe from people by holding hands everywhere they went.

Of course a carnival wouldn't be complete without cotton candy and popcorn! The committee did a great job organizing the event. There was plenty of seating for everyone and most of the seating was covered. There was a stage for a talent show and a magic show. I really enjoyed the art table for kids to use paints and make little spin art cards.

It felt like a carnival.

It looked like a carnival.

It WAS a carnival!!!

Oh, and there was a jello contest with hundreds of jello recipes entered. You can't be LDS and not have a little Jello from time to time!
