Carnival

A couple of weeks ago Nathan's school had a carnival...it was nothing like my elementary school carnivals, but was still fun. They called it an inflatable carnival and had tons of jumping things and slides, game booths, and a rock wall. The kids had the best time! We got them the unlimited rides bracelets and they ran around for 3 hours. One great thing about our school is it is tiny, so there weren't many people there and they never had to wait in line longer then 2 or 3 minutes.

Nathan almost to the top- on the hardest side!


All of the kids in Nathan's class love Ava. The girls are always so excited when we come to help in the class and she gets to go to recess. And the boys love to chase her. The carnival wasn't any different. Ava hung out with Nathan the entire time. I was sitting on the lawn watching them all run around when I saw one of Nathan's friends walking (alone) with Ava toward the game booths. He then played a game, got a prize, and gave it to Ava. It was so cute but I about died- she is my baby, and only 4 1/2! I am not ready for all these boys to be in love with her!!

When it was almost time to go, that same boy ran over to me and said Ava had fallen down hard. I guess she was running with the boys and tripped. Her arm hurt for the entire week.  We thought she may have had a hairline fracture, but she is finally better so we don't know.

My kids would have LOVED going to a carnival like that! Ava is such a cutie, I'm not surprised that she's already so popular. I wish she could start school sooner!
