Carnival

Marina's school had a Back to School Carnival this evening. She was very excited to go. There was a flat fee to get in and that included face painting and unlimited games. Of course, Marina wanted to get her face painted first. From there she played a few games. At each game, the kids earned a certain number of points which they could redeem for prizes. At one game, the young lady punching the cards was quite generous. Marina was so excited to fill up her card.

After trying all the games, she spent a while in the bounce house. It took me a while to get her away from there. Then she went back to playing games. As she saw teachers and classmates that she knew, she'd run over and hug them. It's great to see how much she loves the people at her school - and how much she is loved!

Marina started to get tired as it got dark. So we headed into the prize room to redeem her points. She was able to get two stuffed animals. She left the carnival very happy!
