Primary Halloween Carnival

As the Primary president, I am responsible for the nurture and admonition of the children in our ward.  And on occasion, I am responsible for their entertainment as well.  With my able, wonderful, committed, helpful presidency, we put on a stupendous Halloween carnival last week, shortly before Halloween.  This is the third year we have had this activity, the past two years in conjunction with the youth.  Due to some kerfuffle last year, the youth leaders opted not to participate and I found out only ten days before the activity.  In something of a panic I called my presidency and said, "Argh! What should we do?!"  They each calmly replied, "We'll do it ourselves."  And we did.

Our fantastic teachers, activity day leaders, and music people came through to help with all the fun games.  We ate donuts off a string, fished in a pond, did pumpkin bowling and ring toss, threw bugs through a spider's web, cake walked, dug for treasure in bird food, and had homemade root beer.  Everyone came in costume and we had all the children parade for us across the stage.  It was a super fun activity.  Here are a smattering of pictures.

All that bird food will last through the winter.

Aren't these cute cupcakes?
