Sunday, April 26th, was the end-of-the-year Awanas Carnival. The kids always look forward to this event. This year things were different because they had games out on the field instead of inflatables and inside games. The kids started out with pizza and a coke. This is great because it gives them a chance to socialize. Then the Sparkies headed to the store. As usual, the most "intense" part of the carnival is the Awanas store. Throughout the year the kids earn Awanas dollars for memorizing their verses, attendance, bringing friends, bringing their Bibles, etc. Then the carnival comes and the kids walk around each table debating their purchases.
Abigail had money left over from the last carnival so she was excited to see how much she could get for her money. She bought a big ticket item: the Hannah Montana boom box that connects to her ipod. Then she bought a small item for herself and her brother and sister. Caleb and Lydia were so pleased that she thought of them. What a sweet big sister!
Caleb debated very hard over whether to buy one big item or several smaller items. He decided to get the Iron Man action figure set. That took all of his money but he was okay with it.
After the store the kids headed out to the field for games. During the wiffle ball game Abigail showed off. When she got up to bat, all the boys came in from the outfield because they assumed she wouldn't be able to hit very far. Well, imagine their surprise when the ball flew over their heads and they were scrambling back to the outfield to get it. She was so proud!
