September 14th, Photos from the 2008 Autumn Carnival For Autism (Festivals)

Well I was a busy boy for this little festival for Autistic children, held here in Utah every fall.  All in all I took well over 100 photographs, so needless to say I cut them down…some 😛

You know I really respect any group of people willing to go outside on a hot day and stand around in heavy armored suits, just to take photographs with the kids.  Sadly I don’t know the name of the group that does this, but I going to look into it so I can thank them properly.

For some reason a walking, talking Nemo just scares me… ALOT

Its a bird, its a plane…. no it’s just a train 😉

Either he’s playing with a large bubble wand. OR he about ready to try to rope a calf.

The volunteers for this event are very great with the kids, not only do you get a smile BUT you get a handstamp too.

I don’t know jack, but I do know cheese, or at least cheesy.

Now you know that if there are port a johns, I going to find em, and photograph them.

Look Ma, I’m flying.

You just have to get in there and get dirty!

Ode to a Red Balloon.

Even the peace was being kept.

Would any day be complete without bouncing about on a giant blue ball?

Its a dragon AND a bounce building!!!

She thinks animals are cool.  But show her a maneating sheep and then see what she says.

Just horsing about.

I’m all out of horse quips…

A final cheer for the day!!!.

Wow, its hard enough to imagine putting on a big party like this for people who are just your average joe’s, but to put on something like this for Autistic people and their families, must be like moving a mountain with a tricycle…  Hopefully my photographs paint a picture of just how much fun was had.
