Family Fun Festival

Legend Springs Elementary turns into a veritable carnival every spring when the PTA hosts it's annual fundraiser, the Family Fun Festival.  Danny and I calculated that we have now attended 8 such events.  We  have 6 more to go before all our kids have navigated through the waters of K-6.  Each year the kids enthusiastically wave the fliers announcing the event in my face.  They and ask with hope shining bright in their little faces, "Mom, can we go? Please, can we go?"  I try to disguise the dread rising in the pit of my stomach as I smile and reply, "Of course we can go!"  We always go.   I always tell myself that we will only stay a short time.  I intentionally pre-order scant few game tickets hoping that the kids will get their fill of carnival games quickly. Danny always caves and buys fists full more when we arrive. Despite my lack of genuine excitement, I always have a good time watching the kids.  This year was no exception.  I'll admit that I actually had a lot of fun taking photos with the new Hipstamatic iphone app.  I love the vintage look that emerges from this cheap, imposter of a low tech camera!


Gavin tried the Euro-Bungie.  He was just getting the hang of it when his turn was over.

It seems that we always end up at the cake walk.
Gavin won donuts this year!
