Admit One....or Forty!



Today at Chloe's daycare there was a carnival.  I decided that Chloe would have fun, so we got dressed and headed to the big event. As you can tell by her big smile, she was so excited to get on the road to her carnival. We even made sure we had plenty of cash in hand to purchase the necessities!



As soon as we walked into daycare, there were decisions to be made. How many tickets did we need? Did Chloe "need" sunglasses that were bigger than her face? Would she sit still long enough to have her picture taken? And how on earth was I going to help her play the games, and take pictures? We needed K, but we survived and took plenty of pictures!



Obviously we decided that she did need sunglasses. Just in case it got bright, and she could not see to play the games. Since the carnival was inside I did not think it would get to bright, but it is always better to be prepared.

We headed into the first room and Chloe dove for duckies. This was her favorite thing! She loves ducks, and kept saying "Quack Quack!"






After she picked her fair share of ducks, we headed into room 2. In this room Chloe got to pull a lollipop, and throw bean bags. SHE LOVED IT!! Here she is having the time of her life. The one thing that she did not understand is that she only got to pull one lollipop, not 30! Needless to say, I am a "Sucker" and we came home with a million lollipops.






As you can see in the picture of her playing at this table, she won some necklaces during the bean bag toss. She wanted every color.



After the bean bag toss and lollipop pull, we headed to the elephant stomp! In this room she was supposed to be stomp on balloons and pop them, but she prefered to throw them! Whatever she wants. I gave a ticket to let her play!




Next stop....face painting for a bargain price of 8 tickets. I was not sure that this would go over well, but she sat so still and loved it. I think that she had seen the other kids, and wanted something on her face too.




After face painting, she wanted more tickets. This place was highway robbery!! We purchased tickets, and headed to play some more!



Chloe was so funny while we were at the carnival! She kept wanting to go to her room that she goes to everyday! Here she is standing in front of her classroom. She wanted everyone to see her necklaces and sunglasses.



After some more playing we headed to the car! She was worn out.



Before we left we did get some good news.....Chloe won the door prize. She gets to go to the Jump Place and jump for free. Not bad for her momma paying a small fortune to the daycare!

When we got home she ate lunch, and definitely found it necessary to eat in style with jewelry in tact, and then fell fast asleep. I had so much fun with her today, sorry K had to miss it but we got plenty of pictures!
