Ribbit! Ribbit!
Last night was the annual school carnival fund raising event. Lots of fun! Of course, we partook in the tradition of the circular musical walk for baked goods. My oldest daughter, Maddie won a strawberry cake. The other tradition of school carnivals is the guarantee that before you leave the event, your pockets will be filled with Tootsie Rolls, cheap little toys, erasers, and pencils: All the spoils of winning the ring toss, duck pond, fishing wall, “Plinko,” and other wonderful games the quality of which can only be found at local school carnivals. It’s nice to see that some traditions haven’t changed. I remember these same games and little plastic prizes when I was a kid. My youngest, Gracie was on a mission to collect all the colors of gel frogs available; she ended up with four. These little guys look pretty neat with the sun shining in behind them on the kitchen counter. Thanks to Gracie for the inspiring frogs!
