well, you only turn 8 once...and this particular 8 year old wanted a carnival to celebrate!!  So we built, we painted, we drew, we sewed, we created....a carnival party to have in our backyard!!
Many thanks go to those who helped in the process as well as on the day of...man oh man...those day of planners are worth every penny folks!!!
Jamey, Kahli, Gail, Taby, Kelsi & Colin...and to my older boys, Cam & Hunt for helping to run the games all evening!

We invited our guests with this custom made invitation using Rhonna Farrer Designs app!  I love that app!!

We had the guests come through the back gate, directed by our chalkboard door sign at the front walk, and welcomed by red 'curtains'!

The kids played carnival games like, bean bag toss, ball toss, balloon shoot and ring toss.

We also had a tattoo booth and face painting (that turned into arm tattoos!).

We have this great vintage inspired BINGO game...I have no idea if they even knew how to get BINGO, but they sure had fun playing and getting their prizes!!

Party buses are the more extravagant, fun vehicles of the limo world. These vehicles can hold anywhere from 15 to over 80 passengers and turn what began as a simple commute into an unforgettable experience.

When I turned eight, I had a party in my backyard, so while reading this, I got a bit nostalgic. In my opinion, holding a carnival in your yard is the best way to celebrate.
