everyone loves a cake walk

Kestrel's school had it's annual carnival today. There were pizza, smoothies, balloons, inflatables, and lots of games and prizes, all indoors in the school. One of the most popular games each year is the cake walk. Last time we went Kestrel tried and tried but never won a cake. This time she tried and tried and tried, and finally won a cake! Yay! She was smart and picked one of the few cakes left that looked homemade.

Here she is hoping they call number 4. It was a couple more tries before she won.

Kestrel and Cooper both had their faces painted. Kestrel's kindergarten teacher (and hopefully Cooper's teacher next year) painted both of them. Kestrel asked for a puppy, and Cooper asked for the statue of Liberty (he was trying to challenge her).
