Back to School Carnival

Magnolia 2nd Ward had an outdoor carnival to celebrate the beginning of the school year. The kids had a blast with mom (Sam was out of town this weekend for his brother's funeral). 
 Matthew, Byron and Conner being goofy in the bounce house
Matthew found the rope swing 
 Emily hanging out
Bex gives it a go! 
 The kids enjoyed their yummy shave ice along with hot dogs, burgers, potato salad, watermelon, and treats throughout the evening. 
Jacob was very entertained with Sis. Beaird! 
 Time for the giant water slide!
 It was slow moving at first, but you eventually picked up speed!
The pileup 
 Watermelon eating contest girls competition
And more watersliding 
 Bex riding the pony like a champ!
Katie takes a turn with Sis. Filetti 
 Yee-haw Bex! 
 Bex loved her ride! 
 I had to talk Matthew into his horeback ride. Sis. Filetti was very patient with him. 
 Then of course the hayride towards the end of our carnival outing.
Matthew even snuck the reigns for awhile! He ended up loving the ride! 
 Emily and Jacob enjoying the pony
 Even Jacob got to ride the big horse with Sis. Filetti. It was hard to tell if he enjoyed it or not - kept a pretty serious face the whole time!
Future Cowboy! 
 The girls and Jacob rode the hayride with me and we had a blast! 
 There's my cute smiley boy! 
 Checking out the tractor - Emily, Jacob, and Bex
 Katie and the other young women there were in charge of the face painting booth - which became arm and hand painting too!
When I see all my children smiling throughout the evening, I know this was a big hit for our family! They loved hanging out with their friends, eating good food, and all the activities! Definitely a day to remember!
