A couple of pics from the scavenger hunt...

Just a few pics, nothing fancy, but the kids having some fun.


Here the kids in one group are getting sorted. They had to line up from tallest to smallest
and take their team photo.


Almost done, just doing a final height check....


They had to take a photo of a team member inside a locker.
Diane is inside, Mina is checking for the camera.


We hauled the gym mats into the lobby so they could build a six-person human pyramid.


And they had to find Marilyn (near the right in the back, wearing a red sweater) and have
their team photo taken with her.

It was fun, and kept them running for a full hour!

We ended the Carnival with a music night from 8:30 to midnight. We had a loonie admission for juniors and a toonie for seniors. With the canteen, we raised almost $350.00 for my running club. We had six $10.00 gift certificates donated by the Co-op and the Northern for prizes. There was a hip-hop dance off, several spot dances, and a stick dance. The stick dance is like a frenetic version of musical chairs: a hockey stick or other type of stick is tossed into teh circle. You have to hand it off to someone and if you're holding it when the music stops, you're out. After a couple of rounds, another stick is tossed in, and then another, and then another. At this point kids are running everywhere trying to escape the sticks someone is trying to give them while trying to chase someone else down to pass off their stick. It's a riot! But oi, considering I was up at 5:00 am to help cook the pancake breakfast for the last day of the carnival, it was a VERY long day! But the kids had such a good time it was worth every tiring minute of it.

Running club tomorrow, and the Movie Night. We're showing the cartoon, "Hop", just in time for Easter, and then Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill". Next week we're showing "Despicable Me" and then "The Sixth Sense". Love that movie! Creepy! And the kids are all about the ghost movies here.

So TTFN, I'm off to bed, and Sunday we move into our new unit. Sadly, the phone will be out for a while, and the cable too, but I will be glad of the reprieve from CSI Miami (gag...what a horrid show...)
