A few images from our visit to the school Fall Festival:
- Exile #3 conquered the climbing wall four times.
- E5N1 played some soccer with one of the big kids.
- Some lovely Indian-dance story-telling.
- The huge pot of candy corn I won by guessing the number of them (I guessed 1495 - real answer 1413).
- The cake Exile #4 won in the cake-walk.
- The girls enjoying some of the cake at tea time and Exile #2 missing out.
We had a really good day with much fun besides these things - walking the school trails with their architect (me), bouncing on the bouncy-bounce (
Exile #4 and
E5N1), retreating from the bouncy-bounce when the power temporarily went off (
Exile #4), buying five tickets and winning four items in the tombola (
Exile #3).
I have here the rules to the "Candy Count Contest" in the "Guide to the Festival" leaflet:
ReplyDelete"The closest guess without going over wins the whole jar!"
I think you have someone else's candy.
Where were you when the winners were announced? I would happily have surrendered it - as you know!
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, there must have been a late rule change - the rule as laid out on the spot was just closest-guess.
