This huge event hosted by Camp Carroll included about 1,000 kids! There were crafts, food, inflatable play areas, and groups of children that performed. Of course, I got asked to HELP with the crafts. Little did I know that it was going to turn into me designing the crafts! Yikes! When I stopped by to see the lady I was "helping" on Tuesday, I was told that I needed to design the ornaments. She had an idea from which I came up with a practical way that kids could do this. We then went to get the supplies. The rest of the week was cutting out felt for the ornaments and cards. Thank goodness she did recruit some other help to cut out the thousands of small pieces! However, I think between Andy and myself we cut out over 1,000 pieces.

In the background you can see the inflatable play areas. They were a definate hit. However, they had to be monitored because at one point a play area designed for 2 children at a time had about 50 kids on it. Needless to say they deflated it and then it had to be blown up again. After that adults monitored its use!
