The Fletcher Ohana: Carnival fun

The school at our church, St. Theresa's, had their annual carnival a couple weeks ago. It is the major fundraiser for the school, and we definitely had a great time supporting them!

We started off at the food booths getting the typical Hawaiian food booth fair: pronto pups (corn dogs), flying saucers (meat stuffed bread pockets...they remind me of those old sandwich press things that used to be popular-The sandwich is pressed into a circle shape with the edges pressed together and meat on the inside), chili bowls (chili with rice on the bottom-the only way to eat chili in Kauai!), teri chicken (teriyaki chicken and rice), and malasadas (tasty fried balls of dough tossed in sugar)!

After eating, it was time to have some fun! Luckily, we got to the carnival early so when we got to the bounce house there was only one child in there with Noah.

Bounce House

All of the Sisters from our church were working at different booths (we only have 4 here). Noah had fun fishing for ducks with Sister Carol Ann.

Later in the evening, Noah got a blow up whale that he insisted needed to swim in the pond with the ducks!

Noah also enjoyed running around with some of the other boys

"Boat" Rides

Even though there were several games at the carnival (including pony rides!), Noah's absolute favorite thing (and where we spent the majority of our money) was riding in a wooden boat in a circle around the playground!!! He rode this at least 5 times!

Coconut Bowling

Horse Rides

Even though it wasn't Noah's favorite activity, he still had a great time riding around on a horse!

Noah must have worked his charm on this lady because she took him around for an extra loop that the other children didn't get to do ;-)

Hawaiian cowboy: shorts and slippahs (flip flops) ;-)

Dance Central

When we were walking around, Noah saw two of his friends from base playing Dance Central (or some such dance game) on the Xbox Connect, so he ran over and jumped on the stage to dance with them!
