Awana Fair

We recently found ourselves the parents of an only child for a whole weekend. The older 2 were away on various outings and we could spend some time with Daniel. It was the weekend of the Awana Fair. Daniel attends Awana - a midweek bible club (read fun and games!) with the sole purpose of encouraging Scripture memorization from the age of 3. It is astounding how much he has learned since September.... he can even say "Ecclesiastes" :)
The fair reminded us very much of a school fete, with lots of games to play at various stalls, prizes to win and too many sweet things to eat.

Yeah...why not give hammers to toddlers??

My favourite of the day - Sno-Kones! I am an ice-muncher anyway, so this was just a fantastic treat for me plus it turned out to be such a hot day. Again.
