Last weekend I g0t a call from one of my former student's parents seeing if I wanted to go to a Halloween Carnival with them. We have become good friends, even after they moved to a different school. Funny thing is that I met them at their house and then drove over with them. As we head over there, I asked where the carnival was. They replied at some LDS church on Northpark Dr. I started laughing! Every year the Kingwood Texas Stake puts on a halloween carnival and dance for children with disabilities. It is a put on by the young men and young women in the stake and is a great activity for all involved. We had tons of fun and I even got to have several missionary opportunities.
Two of my favorite kids; Chris and Jennifer
Super Woman! Some one there that night told me my daughter was cute. I wish I had one.
Jennifer and her dad, tossing a frog across the gym.
Chris was one of my very first students. He calls me good morning. I made him say that to me every morning when he got of the bus. Now its become my name. 
Wonder Women Jennifer who kept insisting she was superman. We had to do the cake walk several times so that she could win.
They had tons of activities for them to do. Fishing, drawing a face on a pumpkin, ring toss, and a cake walk were all part of the fun.
Each child was assigned several "helpers" to take them around to each of the activities. It was pretty well organized.
That's so wonderful! And what a coincidence that their Halloween carnival was a Church sponsored one. :)I bet it was a lot of fun for everyone!
