New Moon Party Wrap-Up

Wow, are Twilight fans dedicated! How dedicated? When the fire alarm went off, most of our guests were working on their answers to the trivia contest, and no one so much as stood up. Who cares if the building is burning down around our ears, you said we had to turn this in before we left if we wanted to win the life-sized movie characters, and we know where our priorities lie!

There were 35 questions on the quiz (mostly stolen from various internet sites), but they were worth a total of 50 possible points.

Anyone who wants to see their score can pick their quiz up at the Children's Desk. Anyone else is welcome to use these for their party (as mentioned, we stole them ourselves). Word of warning - we didn't even print the questions out until an hour before the party, and didn't print the answers until the next day - everyone was trying to get an advance look at them!

Everyone seemed to have a good time, and we saw people we haven't seen at previous programs, always a good sign.


Miss Ami is not a huge Edward fan - that would be an "L" shape she is making with her hand.. Sara agrees!


The gang attends morning staff meeting. We...er...forgot this was also the morning the fire department was coming to give a training. There were a few odd looks, but the firemen wisely didn't say anything.

More pictures coming as they get to us!
