Best carnival game ever

September 23, 2011
We took the kids to our local elementary school's Fall Carnival tonight. It's a fundraiser for the PTA, which they tried to get us to join. Pearl was very excited to spend her Dad's money on all the games, cake walk (we didn't win a thing), and bouncy house.

But the absolute best game I have ever seen at these types of events was a little gem, tucked beside the dart throwing and bouncy house. A book walk. It was awesome! For a single ticket, the only single ticket game in the whole carnival, the kids could win new books. And every kid won, every single round. The lady running the game was so nice and wanted every kid to win a book. There were two huge boxes of books to choose from and we came home with four new books. The mom in me loved the cheap and educational prizes. And the public health professional in me loved the non-candy prizes.

I just might join the PTA after all.
