fandomtownies | Homecoming Carnival Post I [The Park, Saturday, October 20, 2012]

Today, when all the children awoke in their beds, they would discover a most joyous occasion! There was a carnival in town! A carnival just for them! All the rides and events were all child-safe and kid-friendly. Even the thematic decorations had become kiddified; no worries about nightmares from this little guy, huh? Didn't he look like fun? Don't you just want to give him a hug?

As for any remaining adults on the island, well...there was still a carnival, okay? Sure, the rides were a lot tamer and a lot brighter and you were possibly too tall to ride the them, but it was still a carnival! A carnival soon to be filled with the loud laughter of many, many children all hyped up on drinks and food that all listed 'sugar' as their prime ingredient!

Truly, this was a day of fun and laughter for all! And probably a night filled with headaches and belly-aches for most!

Huzzah!

It was a carnival, so of course there were plenty of ~~totes moddable~~ carnival foods to nom on! Cotton candy, caramel apples, kettle corn, cookies, milkshakes, soda, sundaes, fried dough, funnel cakes...the works!

There was also heartier fare, on the off chance someone got sick just eating candy. Pizza, burgers, and peanut butter and jelly were available, too. Delicious!

...There were also some foods around for the grownups (like vegetables, eeeew!), but who cared about all that stuff?

While there were some adult-sized tables around, complete with glittery plastic tablecloths emblazoned with the cuddlewolf, most of the tables were wee and awesome. They came with their own umbrellas and were attached to plastic sandboxes filled with sand and sand toys! Feel free to play and eat at the same time--a little clean sand in your food never hurt anyone.

Everyone's favorite part of the carnival!

Bumper cars! Sized for kids and adults alike!

Another favorite ride for all ages!

Worried that the wee tinies would mean a boring carnival? Fear not! There was a roller coaster set up for riding!

...No one over 5 feet admitted, please.

Don't worry, kids. This ferris wheel doesn't go very high!

A wolf-inspired Bouncy Castle? Okay, so it was more 'puppy' than 'wolf,' but it was in the Homecoming spirit, okay?

Lots of ponies to ride at several different locations around the park. More ponies mean fewer lines, yay!

This ride might be best for the bigger kids.

There's a track going all around the park. All aboard the fun train!

Paddle around the duck pond like the prettiest waterfowl of them all--the swan!

...Swimmies must be worn at all times by kids aged 10 and under!

An epic fun house to climb around in, complete with fun features like: rope ladders, crazy mirrors, a barrel-roll tunnel, slides, and, of course, a giant ball pit at the bottom.

Look, kids need a lot of entertaining. Apparently.

It was a game that involved getting kids to ear real fruit! No downsides!

With big, fuzzy mallets, this game is safe for kids and still fun for adults!

Point your water gun at the target to get your horse to the other side the fastest! Winner gets a prize!

For the best in decorative, temporary body art. Get your face made up to look like a werewolf!

There are plenty of ~~moddable~~ baby animals to feed and pet, as well as a few Fandom-only breeds, like some teal deer fawns, as well as the alot of snuggling, an alot of cotton balls, and the alot of pillows!

A little area off to one side where the shier, quieter kids can play. There are plenty of ~~moddable~~ toys available to share or to just play by yourself.

Many thanks to

apocalipped for cropping the new, kid-friendly Homecoming icon.

...It really does have Derek's eyebrows, no?

The Haunted Hayride offered spooky rides all afternoon, but once the sun went down, they got downright scary. Not for cry-babies or bed-wetters!

Korra wasn't exactly sure when Naga had gotten so big, but she clearly couldn't fit in the dunk tank with her, so she led her over to where all these other animals were.

"Naga, stay," she told her, reaching up to pat the polar bear dog's head. "And don't scare the other animals or Master Katara will get mad at us."

[Longsuffering polar bear dog is pettable and will not nom anyone. Jerkbenders will get nommed...by Korra.]

April was not enjoying this one bit. It was sunny, there were other children present, and lots of the other children were loud and annoying. Plus the food here wasn't even all that good. Where were the rice and beans?

She was going to give a long, hard look to anyone who tried to play with the sand at her table, thanks. There would be no sandboxing here if she had anything to say about it. This was a table of dignity.

Oh, here was something April could do.

She was kicking ass at this, FYI. Fear, other children. Fear.
