Homecoming Carnival Post I [The Park, Saturday, October 20, 2012]

[glacial_witch]

Today, when all the children awoke in their beds, they would discover a most joyous occasion! There was a carnival in town! A carnival just for them! All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't

Food and Drink

[glacial_witch]

It was a carnival, so of course there were plenty of totes moddable carnival foods to nom on! Cotton candy, caramel apples, kettle corn, cookies, milkshakes, soda, sundaes, fried dough, funnel cakes...the works!

There was also heartier fare, on the off chance someone got sick just eating candy. Pizza, burgers, and peanut butter and jelly were available, too. Delicious!

...There were also some foods around for the grownups (like vegetables, eeeew!), but who cared about all that stuff?

Guess what! Stacey didn't have diabetes when she was six!

She had pizza in front of her that she was ignoring for the moment because she also had cotton candy, and everybody knew dessert was the best part anyway.

Hanna was here for the funnel cake. It was a special treat for finishing her caramel apple. It was a fruit! Totally healthy.

Foooooooooood!

Where else was Momoko supposed to go? She munched on a corndog and wandered around, trying to remember.

Ok, maybe she was more thinking about the other food booths and maybe the rides and oooh, there was GAMES...?!

Tables

[glacial_witch]

While there were some adult-sized tables around, complete with glittery plastic tablecloths emblazoned with the cuddlewolf, most of the tables were wee and awesome. They came with their own umbrellas and were attached to plastic sandboxes filled with sand and sand toys! Feel free to play and eat at the same time--a little clean sand in your food never hurt anyone.

April was not enjoying this one bit. It was sunny, there were other children present, and lots of the other children were loud and annoying. Plus the food here wasn't even all that good. Where were the rice and beans?

She was going to give a long, hard look to anyone who tried to play with the sand at her table, thanks. There would be no sandboxing here if she had anything to say about it. This was a table of dignity.

Wesley wasn't a child this weekend and he wasn't really one for carnival games under ordinary circumstances, so he thought he might sit out the activities and keep to a (normal-height, thank you) table instead. It was a bit loud, though, so he didn't expect to stay out for very long. Living in a mostly-abandoned hotel really spoiled a guy.

After getting some food Naomi made her way to one of the tables, for the moment she was happy to just and watch what was happening at the carnival.

Rides

[glacial_witch]

Everyone's favorite part of the carnival!

Bumper Cars!

[glacial_witch]

Bumper cars! Sized for kids and adults alike!

Re: Bumper Cars!

[new_it_girl]

There was so much to do here. Hanna didn't know where to begin...until she spotted the bumper cars. Yay! She was awesome at bumper cars.

Beware! She was even more of a menace behind the wheel of a car when she was a small child.

Merry-Go-Round

[glacial_witch]

Another favorite ride for all ages!

Games and Amusements

[glacial_witch]

Look, kids need a lot of entertaining. Apparently.

Bobbing for Apples

[glacial_witch]

It was a game that involved getting kids to ear real fruit! No downsides!

Whack-A-Gremlin

[glacial_witch]

With big, fuzzy mallets, this game is safe for kids and still fun for adults!

[hatesmoststuff]

Oh, here was something April could do.

She was kicking ass at this, FYI. Fear, other children. Fear.

OOC

Many thanks to apocalipped for cropping the new, kid-friendly Homecoming icon.

...It really does have Derek's eyebrows, no?
