Fall Festival

Every year, my sister-in-law's school has a Fall Festival with lots of games, food, and tons of fun! The girls had so much fun last year that we just couldn't miss it this year. They played all sorts of games. Molly loved the "jumping thing" the best. She got to jump for 4 minutes!!

Then, they wanted to get their face painted. I remember that Molly wouldn't let them do it last year.

The one game that we tried to avoid was the fish bowl toss...which had a prize of a goldfish. We didn't want anymore fish...but we weren't going to tell the girls no either. So, we got the fish. Who do you think carried around those fish? Yes, me and Brian. We kept praying they would jump out! Well...they didn't...until Molly accidentally knocked them over while we were eating. The poor fish were flopping all over the table. Brian's aunt, Mary Jane, quickly grabbed the glass as we put the fish back in and said "I'll go get water!" When she came back, I looked at the glass and thought, that doesn't look right. She had put water in the glass from the ice bucket where the drinks were. Those poor little fish were in shock. I told her that I was pretty sure she had killed them. I was actually very thankful! She rushed off and said she was going to "resuscitate" them. She came back and those stinkin fish were alive and swimming around. I couldn't believe it.
