Carnival Weekend is almost here

This coming weekend is one of our favorites, as we have our first bonfire of the season on Saturday night, Steve Wronker makes his first appearance of the year, and we have carnival games, a rock wall, face painting, Mr. Magic and more. For the first time, we will have some "Curious Critters" at the field during the games. Sharon in the office is deathly afraid of snakes, so you won't see her bringing the grandkids anywhere near that display. Hoping for nice weather..and it looks like just maybe a few scattered showers. We are now into the busy season for school picnics, with our first outing this past Tuesday, and more picnics next week. On Sunday, Three Rivers College will be here for an outing (Matt L is taking some classes there, so he can attend...or work). Also, Jon M (Pills, to many) graduates from college. Congrats to him, as well as Justin V, who has worked the pools and activities for a few years now. He also graduates this weekend, and has mentioned that far fewer grads have "real" jobs lined up...so we may see him (and others who graduate) this summer. Hard to believe that Memorial Day is only a week away, followed by our two big festivals. Ted Lehmann has posted his preview of the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival on his blog, so take a look. http://tedlehmann.blogspot.com/ We always appreciate his insights, and have utilized some of his fine photos. Couple of kid thoughts...for the first time, Brock was able to indicate that he has a little sore throat, and actually wanted some medicine last night. Also, we are at wit's end in trying to figure out what happened to our camcorder. Sadly, we are thinking that Brock may have put it somewhere that only he can find it (hopefully not into the trash). It has been a couple of weeks, and we are starting to lose hope. We have a few weeks until his birthday to find it (or to buy a cheaper replacement).
