~  The Carnival Spectacular ~

This post is long over due but I was having issues with the pictures crashing my computer.

On Sat June 2nd we had a combined carnival party for Annie and Rylee. The kids all had so much fun and it turned out to be better than I had expected. It come with a much bigger price tag and a lot more labor of love than expected too but it was all worth it!  After a few months of planing and thanks to Aunt Lettie's creative genius, it was as pretty, as it was fun. It took about 8 hrs to set everything up but only an hour to take  it all down! We lucked out because it started to rain a couple of times as we were setting up and during the party but all my begging and pleading kept the weather at bay. We have not had success trying to have outdoor parties in June. We had face painting, a balloon dart game, a fishing game, a bouncy house, potato sack races, a balloon guy, a photo station, cotton candy, popcorn, and a candy station, just to name a few of the attractions. This was the party of all parties but sadly I don't think we will ever do anything on this scale again! So if you came we hope you enjoyed! 24 kids was a little much. We will be taking a year off from parties to "recover". Here are just a few of my favorite pics. from that crazy day!
