The Carnivore!

This past weekend our church had a Preschool Extravaganza for preschoolers and their parents. Kendall has been so excited about it, ever since we got our ticket in the mail. We talked a lot about what we would do at the carnival (or "carnivore" as she said a lot) and she was super excited to go on Saturday morning!
Our children's ministry staff did such a great job putting on a fun event for families. Kendall was a little overwhelmed when we first walked in but she warmed up pretty quickly!
There were tons of fun little carnival games that were perfect for her age group. Fishing,

picking out ducks,

eating popcorn,
and bowling were some of her favorite things we did.

Cooper loved playing in the ball pits and she kept this ball with her as we went around to the different games.

She even got to play Plinko!

There was a cupcake walk and the first time Kendall and I played, we won! She was very proud of her cupcake and couldn't wait to go home so she could eat it!
Love these girls! Love Coop's little head poking up in the back!
We came back to the ball pit several times so Coop could play. :)
Lots of families came out to play and the event was a big success!
Biggest news of the day: Kendall bounced in a bounce house for the first time EVER! Anytime we go to parties or events that have bounce houses, she is not even the least bit interested. She says that she is scared of them and has never wanted to bounce - it doesn't even matter if it's a smaller one like this. But today for some reason....who knows??...she decided she was ready! She just climbed right on in and started bouncing! We were so proud and happy that she finally got to experience the greatness of bouncing!
She crawled in so fast we didn't have time to get her sucker away from her! We got it from her before she started bouncing, though! So glad she had fun doing this!

Cooper enjoyed her sucker while she was in the bounce house.

We had such a good morning hanging out together as a family and with our friends at church! We are thankful for an awesome children's ministry that makes it a priority to take care of our whole family!
