Carnival Day

Today the kids, papa, and I went to garage sales and found a scooter for Zoe to be able to join the 'bicycle parade' that happens around here some evenings. She was without 'wheels' except for a wagon, and we have had no luck finding her an inexpensive bicycle......this works out well.

When we got home, we realized that today was the day of the carnival at the nursing home. They had atleast 4 of the huge inflatables, along with easy kiddy games, and lots to eat......hot dogs, icecream, chips, popcorn.....and icees ! No charge for anything, and a live band, to boot ! It was around 80 degrees, making it the perfect day for outdoor fun. My camera decided to go on hiatus, claiming "unrecognizable format" on every photo, so I got NO shots............and I had some really great ones of the kids on the inflatables ! So sad !

If anyone knows what I need to do to correct this problem, feel free to make suggestions. I've brought up the part on the menu that tells you to reformat, but it didn't correct anything. I may be without a camera for quite a while if this keeps up. The truck threw a little temper tantrum, too, so maybe I just wasn't in the right Christian frame of mind today. I was a little impatient, and mouthy, to say the least ! You who know me personally know what I can be like. I don't mean to be, but I'm kindof over-extended some days lately, if you know what I mean. I'm not too proud to ask for an extra prayer or two ! Thanks, because I know you'll do it for me !
