Don’t Forget About Community Activities

When you are wondering what to do on the weekend, don’t forget about the activities that are being offered in your community. The local paper would have all of the “what’s happening” news. I know in my town, the elementary schools put on big school carnivals each year. They aren’t just for their students, they are for everyone in the community.

The school where my kids attend just hosted their annual school carnival. It was so much fun! There are lots of things to do: face painting…

The cake walk (where we managed to win three times!) We live in a small enough town that the baked goods were homemade! They were delicious and it was so much fun watching my kids look at all the yummy treats and pick out exactly what they wanted to take home.

There was also the much loved bouncy house!

And would it be a school carnival without a dunk tank? The Principal even sat in the tank for a little while.

And what about putting the Headmaster in jail?

There were games to play and lots of prizes, excellent food and a safe environment for kids to play and run around. My kids will remember this day for a long time!
