This was Mark's school carnival. It is the only fundraiser they do...they raised $40,000 last year. We missed it last year because we were in New Zealand.

Mark and his mates racing down the slide. He didn't win this time...so it didn't count...lol.

Roy was going to go on this ride with Mark but he chose to go on with his friends. Roy looked really sad leaving the line.

I guess it rains every Carnival and this year was no different. The storm passed really quick.
