Parties

Well, Cameron's 8th birthday party went great. He had a great time playing with his friends and riding his scooter around instead of skates. We had 9 boys join us for the fun. I think they all had a great time except for when the games kept eating their tokens. Cameron received lots of fun toys and even some money. The cake was a Optimus Prime transformer cake...I do have a picture, just didn't post it. After the cake Cameron was put into a money machine. The machine blew fake dollars around and he had to try to catch as many as he could. He ended up getting $40 in play money that transfered to 40 tickets to purchase something from the toy area. He ended up getting a blow-up snake sword.




After the party we headed to Liberty Park in SLC for a Carquest Halloween function. We had a lot of fun visiting with everyone. For dinner we had "homemade" chili with sugar donuts. Has anyone ever heard of this combination before? We were told it is a small town Utah thing. You are supposed to dip the donuts in the chili. EEEWWW!

There was a three-legged race that Cameron and I competed in...that hurts! We were in the lead for awhile, but in the end we lost. There should have been a prize for 2nd place!

After the race it was time for the pumpkin carving contest. The knives that we had to use were crap. What do you expect for $5 from Wal-mart? The first one Michael used broke and the second one wasn't much better. Everyone carved some great pumpkins. Gary, the operations manager at Carquest was going to judge, but I had the idea to grab some people walking through the park and have them vote. They liked that idea, it sure made it easier to pick and not have someone mad that you didn't choose them.
