Give Kids the World Carnival

August 15th - the local Perkins Restaurant had their annual Give Kids the World Fundraising Carnival.
.
We attended - not only to support & have fun; but because Give Kids the World is where we will be staying in January when Amie goes on her Make a Wish trip to Disney.
.
We've learned so much about this fantastic organization. Our local Perkins is extremely involved in it. We knew they raised money for it - but really never realized exactly what it was. They also have all these pictures hanging on their wall of kids playing. These are all Give Kids the World Kids!
.
We even met two such kids that day. One was a young man that has been a Give Kids the World for 15 years! He now supports it every year as well. The other was a young girl that had just gotten back two weeks prior.
.
I don't know what the history is for either of these young people - but they both were extremely appreciative of Give Kids the World Organization!
.
We promised Pete (the manager of Perkins) that we would take plenty of pictures & we would definitely share them when we get back!


Bounce house was the biggest hit!
