Family Fun Festival

Last night, I had a really good time at my old elementary school, St. Timothy's. (It's a very small Lutheran school, and my mom is the principal, so almost everyone knows me, either because I went there, or because my sister did, or because of my mom now.)  We had the Family Fun Festival.  This used to be the highlight of my year when I still went there, and now it's just fun to mess with the kids.  It's on the field, and there is are a couple things that go on.  There are carnival-type games, and you can win prizes, and a raffle, where you can win a bunch of different things that were donated to the school, and, the best part, there is also an inflatable slide (you know what I mean? The slides that are made out of the same stuff as jumpy houses?), an obstacle course (also an inflatable thing), and usually a jumpy house, but there wasn't one this year.  
For most of the night, me and one of my friends from elementary school, Jennifer, were helping with the obstacle course.  She'd help the kids climb up to the slide part, and I stood on the other side, to make sure the kids kept going through.  One of the highlights of my night was helping this one ADORABLE kid, Josh.  He had the most awesome imagination!  Unlike most of the kids, he talked to us the whole time.  He had to get up "laser mountain" (the slide) and go through the "laser tunnels" (tunnels right after the slide) and then go through the lasers themselves (some bars the kids climbed through), all without having the lasers turn on!  It was all very exciting!  ;) 
After the raffle, most of the kids left, and it was mostly me and my little sister, Rachel, my old best friend from elementary school, Jonathan, and his friend, Kenny, hanging out, and we all messing around on the slide.  It was so fun!  We'd pull each other down, try and run up it, slide down and try to hit each other, all that good stuff.  It was just a really good night, and I also had a good day at school and stuff (A few of you will get that).  I'm also pretty excited because I'm going to get to see Sheila today, and I haven't seen her in 4 months.
