The Ward Carnival

So for those of you that don't know Kevin and I are Activities Committee chairman for our ward, so we get to plan all the parties. Sounds fun right? Oh boy... it is a big job and a little over whelming. But we made it through!

We started off with a trunk or treat in the church parking lot, along with 2 other wards there at the same time. Then we went into the cultural hall where we had half the gym set up with tables, for our Chili cook off and yummy desserts. The other half was set up carnival style with different "booths" (i.e. face painting, fishing, throwing darts, etc.) and in the primary room we had a spook alley that was very well done by the EQ. They were supposed to have 2 one for the younger kids, and one for the older but they ran out of time. So you just ahd to tell them if you had a little one, I did take Tyler through and I think he would've been fine except that right when you walked in there was a huge spider. And if you don't know, Tyler is terrified of spiders (even fake ones), so he didn't like it much, but it was a pretty cool spook alley.

It turned out to be a lot of fun from what I hear anyway. But when your in charge it's nothing but chaos. And poor little Ty didn't get to have much fun because we were running around all night, so he didn't get to play the games.

So needless to say I didn't get as many pics as I wanted but here are a few.

Thanks goodness for our good friends the Catenzaro's for letting Ty take a nap at their house while we set up and putting him to bed while we took down. Thanks a bunch Gina.
