Backyard Fair

Two years in a row, and I think a new tradition has been born.  We hosted another backyard fair while the kids were out of school.  You could fish for a prize.
 Throw bean bags for a chance to win a cold slice of watermelon.
And search for hidden treasures in the sawdust sea.

 Since face painting was so popular last year, I hired one of my YW from the Spanish Branch to paint the faces this time.  She does an amazing job.  The kids patiently waited for their special turn.

 There were parakeets and lizards on display as part of our open class exhibit.
 And of course, some yummy fair treats.  There was quite a selection of popcorn, smoothie pops, carmel apples, and rolls & honey butter.
