Last Friday was the HarvestFest, a seniors' fund raiser at DA with all sorts of fun activities for the kids. They had a zip line from a couple stories up. (Scaffolding) They had "Douse the teacher" with wet sponges and a staff member peeking his face through a hole in a target. They had the traditional "jail," a metal cage that you could pay to have your friend (or enemy) captured and held in for a time. They even had a ten-foot trebuchet (catapult-like contraption) to sling water balloons at the prisoners. They had a karaoke station and a cake walk. They even had a very cool obstacle course for the littlest kids out back under the trees that had them swinging on a rope over a pond and climbing through a tunnel.
And, of course, there was a lot of good food for sale: burgers and caramel corn and all that. Some senior's parents even had a stand doing corn-dogs. Jonathan had a great time. I enjoyed the food and watching the kids and adults play. I took a few photos, but realized afterwards that I hadn’t gotten many of the fun events. We left as they were auctioning seniors to the highest bidder. Well, actually, they were auctioning the services of each senior for a particular job (cooking a dessert, watching kids, etc.).

Hey Dad, you accidently posted the same thing twice on the Phare blog. I would have told you there, but it doesn't allow non-Blogger comments. :)
