~ Bobbing With Seaponies! ~

It was no surprise that this carnival-style game turned out to be a big hit at the Festival. We provided a pool full of seaponies, cute pony charms to win, and three modest plasitc rings. All you had to do was get the ring over the seapony. As the day went on, it was quickly proven that this was much easier said then done!

Here's a lovely close up of the pool itself, seaponies bobbing happily on the waves... What surprized us most about was the fact that no-one jumped in with the seaponies, even as temperatures sored into the +30C's. Perhaps the most frequently asked question of the day was wether or not we new there was a Brazillian Pony floating in the pool. Actually, there were three.

The real fun is of course trying to ring one of those sea ponies. Her goes Christian, aka The Baddoggie, aka Hula Hula. Nice toss!

But, no seapony.

The competition went late into the night. Afterall, adorable Seapony Charms were at stake, and everyone had a favorite on they wanted to win. Below is [somewhat fuzzy] picture of the Charms. And to the right is Baby Ice Crystal, at last, ringing that elusize little pony! See, it can be done!

In the end, everyone went home with a prize, and the seaponies got to chill out with the rest of for the remainder of the party. It was a good day for all, including the racoon, who kept stealing the floating plastic lilypads from the pond.
