..grub and entertainment..

 
what's a carnival without hot dogs.nachos.giant pickles.watermelon.corn or licorice?

 

homemade vanilla cakes and smooth hazelnut frosting
..with real crushed up hazelnuts!
jimmies and circus sprinkles of course.
thanks tira for making the #1 cookies!
such a  hit.and gone in seconds!

so here are the games:
we hung lines of twine from tree to tree
and draped different polk.a.dotted fabric for the backdrops for the games.
each had its own spot and corresponding sign.

go fish! 

i put my brother in charge of attatching silly prizes
{parachute men.sparkley rings.glitter pencils.noise makers}
to the ends of the fishing poles
{made from twigs..twine..and clothespins}

 
here is beckham's attempt. wonder what he'll get!
he just wanted the clothespin.

ball toss bonanza! 

we lined up 36 clear cups..filled all with water..only some had goldfish in them. 
if you tossed your ball into a fish one...
hooray! you win a fish!
thanks mike and skyler for taking the trip to get all 25 of these babies!!


{and not to mention..getting them all individually wrapped! ha.}


snow cone zone!

so i'm a total fibber. the extension cord was just maybe 10 yards too short.
but at least the sign was cute..right!? yeah. we tried.

face painting!

and she did an amazing job.
