St. John's Spring Fling

Liam and I went to St. John's Spring Fling this afternoon after mass. It was sponsored by our church for all children of the parish and school. They really did a nice job and made it extremely affordable...even the lunch was free. They were kind enough to make "Liam the Grainatarian" a cheese sandwich out of two hamburger buns!

After lunch, Liam was so excited to play the games. We paid $5 for a bunch of tickets which he got to play on different games including a bounce house, duck pond, ring toss, plinko, bowling, etc. After each game, he "won" a prize from the box which he enjoyed digging through with the other children until he found the perfect choice. I'm sure it will soon end up in our "hodge-podge" toy bag but what great fun!

It was fun for me, too, watching Liam outdoors playing with the other parish children. He was able to see a couple friends he knows from his current school, too, who belong to our church and will be attending St. John's with Liam next fall. We also had a chance to see and speak with his upcoming teacher, Mrs. Erpenbeck.

Thank you, St. John's for a wonderful day...we'll be looking forward to next Spring!

Wow, what fun! AND does it ever bring back memories of the October bazaar at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary when you, Amy, and PJ were kids. What fun you always had. It was also fun for Papa and I to watch Liam at Holy Rosary when we took our vacation to MA in October, 2007. Even at a year and a half he had fun at the bazaar!!
