Last Saturday was the annual Logos Carnival. This is an event for the expat and missionary community and an easy fundraiser for the school. They had it all, over 20 games including tricycles races, darts, bean bag toss, and many more, and then prizes for the kids. The food was great though we choose to have the Johnsville Brat for lunch, being that we don't get that often (or more accurately-- ever). I will say the Korean Kimbob, and the Indian curry did look good (both of which we eat all the time, making the American grilled brat the easy choice). The food, the games, and the excitement in the air brought back floods of memories of my own school carnivals and of the state fair that we attended every year.
One thing unique to the Logos Carnival is that each grade has to come up with a game, and run the booth at the carnival. The Soph class did an arrest and jail game. Anyone can be arrested for a small token fee and then taken to jail. In jail you get your face painted by a student in some ridiculous fashion and then sent out to try to be normal again. Chris was arrested within minutes of getting to the carnival and below you can see his punishment. I on the other hand went several hours. However, my punishment was severe, they painted my face as if I was the main character in Avatar. Yes, my face was totally covered in blue, even complete with the white dots over my eyebrows. We hung around for a bit, had a our lunch and then decided to go home because it was hard to have any sort of adult conversation with anyone when we looked like Avatar and a creepy clown.
All in all it was fun and we enjoyed another relaxing weekend!
Gotta see your picture Leanne! You're leaving us in suspense of what you look like as an Avatar! Haha! Sounds like ya'll had fun!
