9th Annual Carnival!

Last Saturday we went to a Carnival in Raleigh for kids with Special Needs. This is the 9th year they have held it inside and outside of Brooks Ave Church of Christ. What fun you had Janna! This is the one thing you kept talking about for a few days like never before. That night we talked about all that we did with jumping and playing with balls, petting the rabbits, etc. and the next few days on several occasions you used a combination of signs and words to talk about your fun day. Not sure if you were wanting to go back and do it all again or just recalling what we did. I bet you were wanting to go back :)

Here you were heading back in for more jumping amongst some active boys - you sure were making daddy nervous :)



We road Charlie Choo Choo - you LOVED this ride!



And you had a GREAT time in the Ball Room!!!




And in the little Bubble Hut :)



You enjoyed various games...




and getting stickers and other prizes!



They fed us all sorts of GOOD food too!




I think the live animals were your favorite!




Here you were being shy and not wanting to speak to the Easter Bunny's wife :)



But then you gave her a HIGH 5 while daddy was holding you!



We are very thankful for the kindness of these volunteers who go out of their way every year to bring smiles to so many kids and their families.

That looks like fun! We'll need to meet you there one year. What a very special thing for that church to do. That warms my heart.
