Dads and Donuts

This post is WAY overdue, so overdue in fact that I should have just let it go. But I like these pictures too much so I'm posting it anyway. This was from our Primary Activity Day back in early June. We invited Dads to come with their kids, and served donuts afterwards (thus the title). It was a "carnival"-style event with different booths, all with the theme "All I Needed to Know I Learned from My Dad." I was mostly busy helping with the event so I didn't get a ton of pictures, but I got a few.


The shaving booth (whipped topping and popsicle sticks):

The Plasma Car races:

The craft:

I was in charge of the paper airplane contest, and so John could fulfill one of the activities for the Faith in God Award, he was in charge of helping me. I decided the plane we'd give instructions to build would be The Dragon, because it was easy to make and flew fast and straight.

(Okay, who am I kidding? I chose it because it's called The Dragon. I mean, how cool is that?)

John helped assemble the signs with the building instructions. He also helped make this sign. I wrote the lettering, but told him he could color it in however he wanted. This is what he did, and he was so proud of it!

Unfortunately, I don't have pics of the actual contest, which was fun. It was done in a pretty laid back, come and go style, with no real winners or prizes of course, but we did keep track of the longest throw. I don't remember the distance exactly, but it seems like it was over 40 feet. Maybe longer. I can't remember. It was awesome, and John did a great job helping with the booth.

There do tend to be perks to helping with activities like this. In addition to snacking on extra donuts, we got to play around on the plasma cars after everyone else had gone home.

Yeah, it was fun. :)
