We went to one of the elementary school's Halloween carnivals. We had talked about getting cotton candy there for days and Bergen was really excited about it. We let Bergen pick which games he wanted to play and were really careful to make sure we had enough tickets left to get the cotton candy. Unfortunately we waited too long into the evening to get the cotton candy...they had run out :( It was sad but Bergen handled it very well.
They had a corner of the gym sectioned off for silly string wars. Bergen REALLY wanted to do that but I kept trying to persuade him to do other things. It was a lot of tickets and I wasn't sure if he would be able to actually spray the string. After our cotton candy strike we decided to do the string. I was right in that he had a hard time spraying the string and really didn't get into the action much for all the work it took just for the poor little guy to spray his string. I was feeling kind of bad for him and maybe even like it was a waste. But that night when we asked what his favorite thing of the activity was he said the string! I was surprised but happily so! He had had fun so I didn't need to feel bad about it anymore.
He got lots of candy, loved wearing his "firefire" outfit, liked carrying the ax him and daddy made together, and thought the special candy bag I made for him was cool.
