Today was my son's annual elementary school carnival. It's a big end of year fundraiser sponsored by our PTO and is always lots of fun for the kids. We have a silent auction, dancing, performances, games, moonwalks, a dj, and food.
Each year, the cakewalk is a huge hit. I've never made a cake for this event and am always amazed at the great ideas people come up with. I may be crafty, but I know my limitations!

Okay, how cool is this hamburger?!
Corn on the cob - the kernels are made from yellow and white jelly belly's.
Sydney, Australia - notice the Opera House on the left

Bucket o'cake goodness
Bears on the beach
What's a cakewalk w/out Barbie?
Each classroom sponsored a game.
These were equally as creative and fun:
Toss the chum into the sharks mouth
Go Fish
Fish toss into cups - this cute fish landed this way from a toss
Another fish toss - guy made from pvc pipes
Ball toss - the pole has various sized hooks and
the balls are dog toys. They work quite nicely!
Mystery tubes - ea. family filled a tube full of toys for under $5.
Kids used their tickets to purchase them.
The booty - this is what the kids live for...the penny toys!
It's always fun to end the year with this event. We get to see families that we haven't seen in a long time. The kids run around with their friends. Even the big kids come out to play. Fun is had by all!
Honest to God.... That corn rocks!!!!
