The local Community Center hosts a Halloween Carnival every year the Sunday before Halloween. We decided to go right away this year and it was the best time we have ever had. Many of the families didn't get their right away, so it wasn't too packed in the game area. They handed out free hot chocolate, popcorn, and juice - let the kids decorate their own cookies (way to much frosting) - and did scary skating. It was a good time had by all. As you can see from the pictures, Rhyan dressed as a Bride and Olivia was the cutest spider I have ever seen.
The games were fun, but we have one very competitive daughter (Olivia) and then another that is not so competitive (Rhyan) - someday this will be good, but when you are playing games like: throw darts at balloons, pic a pumpkin out of a small pool and check the bottom, and shoot the puck and the competitive one doesn't get it on the first try, but the not competitive one does - it's not so fun!!
About the Carnival...
Olivia: "I loved the food and drinks."
Rhyan: "Um, I loved it."
