Carnival

Saturday was the annual carnival that our church puts on for the ARC of Johnson county. Our first year here they asked us if we would learn to do balloon animals so that has been our job every year making balloon animals for the kids.

This year we were on the committee in charge of the carnival so we had to do a lot of other stuff as well but since we are only one of two couples that know how to do the balloon animals we also helped out with that. Between setting up the carnival, the carnival itself and taking down the carnival we were outside from 8am to 3 pm. I didn't even think to put sunscreen on any of us. Only one of us burned and it wasn't the baby. Addi was lucky enough to get my skin complexion and not her daddy's. Addi just got really tan while her daddy came home with a very red forehead and neck. Addi loved the cotton candy, the popcorn and the snow cones.

The only game that she played was Pluck the Duck. It was a swimming pool filled with ducks and each duck has a number under it and that is how many tickets you get. Addi was very good at that came and even had a few strategies up her sleeve.
First block out any other kid around.
THen just dive right into the pool to receive the best duck.
Got it now give me my tickets.
Addi got a cute little purse and a fun clapper toy, but who knows where they are now.
