Carnival

A WONDERFUL DAY FOR A CARNIVAL

CUTHBERT GRANT DAY

Yesterday our little village had a carnival....Cuthbert Grant day. First there was a parade with kids bikes and wagons.

Hubby felt like a celebrity because everyone was waving at him and calling his name because he is one of the school bus drivers in our village. Then we went over to the community club grounds and spent most of the morning there. Nothing tastes better than a hot dog at a carnival. Spider man was a big hit...Snow White and Sleeping Beauty were there also. Of course, little grandson was more enamoured with Spidey and had to have his picture taken. Wow, Spidey even allowed them on the picnic tables for pictures.

We then went for a tour of our local museum. Our grandson was quite fascinated with all the old antiques in the house and I had to explain what each one was used for. Makes me feel really old when I remember having a couple of them

when I was growing up. They had fiddlers and jigging. And what is a carnival withour carnival games for kids. Do you remember tug of war and potato sack races and wheelbarrow races? The tug of war was cute with the little kids and then they challenged the dads. The funniest thing happened.....when the dads started tugging, my hubby says, "Watch the rope is going to break." and it did. I wish I had taken a picture of that. So it was a great day and we went home tired and a little sunburned.
