To celebrate our elementary schools 10th birthday the PTA planned a big carnival last Friday. It of course had to be on one of the hottest days we have had this year (100 degrees) - it made for a very uncomfortable afternoon but we managed to survive it (even without Derek, who was still gone to Mexico and missed all the carnival goodness - I'm sure he cried himself to sleep every night)

One of the booths was a silly string war booth. 2 tickets got you a can of silly string and an opponent who was similarly armed. The kids loved this booth. The popularity of this booth is evident when you walk the school campus - silly string stains are everywhere.
In my opinion a good indicator of a successful activity (when kids are involved) is the dirt level. Judging by the black top dirtiness of Em's feet the heat didn't bother the kids and they had a blast.
