All the preparation, planning and hard work really paid off!!! Stacie and I are so pleased with the turnout, it really was a great day and it was so nice to see so many moms and their kids all having fun!!!
We had many great volunteer helpers that made mine and Stacie's job that much easier and helped the day to be a success. They all did a fabulous job and were smiling the whole time!!!
Lots of sun and warm weather made everyone cheerful and the laughter and excitement from the kids made the day perfect!!!
Kellogg's was there bright and early to set up and was a huge with all the kids! I think all the kids had their fill of cereal!!!We started the morning off with our parachute and circle time which was so much fun!!! Many of the kids have never played with a parachute before and the giggles and squeals of delight were so contagious!
Mariposa Gymnastics set up an obstacle course for the kids and they all loved climbing and jumping off the equipment, some of them really took off!!!.
The Bunny Lady was also a huge hit! Gina set up a pen with some bunnies for the kids to play with and they sure were popular!!!
And then the Barrie Fire Department made their appearance... with lights aglow they drove right out on to the field and the kids made a fast bee line to see the truck and firefighters... of course moms were close behind!
Kindermusik was also a big draw and huge success! The kids all piled into the Dorian Centre where they danced and sang songs... it sure was noisy but the kids were all happy!!!!
Picasso Painting and Mother's Day Planting were also a hit with the kids! The moms all got to relax for a bit while their kids got messy with the paints and then dug in the dirt to plant their flowers... and after all the mess every mom got a great gift to take home made just for them by their little ones!!!
To top off the day Tanya from Heritage read stories to the kids which they all loved.... then a final circle with the parachute, prize draws and clean up.
What a fun-filled busy day!!!! We were all exhausted, a little sunburned, but happy!!!!
