Fun at the carnival

2013-Carnival from L'Ecole Francaise du Maine on Vimeo.

It was the perfect day for our 3rd annual carnival. We participated in some great games like water balloon toss, egg run, and mummy contest, limbo, pie eating contest, lollipop tree, pig races, and many more.  There were two balloon animal makers meeting every imaginable demand to the great delight of the children!

Thanks to all of the parents and teachers who volunteered at the stands! We got our faces painted, went to the wacky hair salon, and made many crafts. Thanks to all who donated items for the rummage sale, it was a hit!

We ate some great food too. We had a lot to choose from, including: 

Taylor Made Smoke (http://www.taylormadesmoke.com) who cooked some super yummy pulled pork, hot dogs, and burgers and "La poutine"- french fries with cheese. For dessert, we ate some waffle ice cream cones at Jennifer Yilmaz's booth and delicious French crêpes at Henri 's!!
