Saturday Fun


We had a puppet show Saturday morning in Greenville, SC (South Carolina)! Elmer (puppet) made a showing and entertained the kids. Saturday evening Hands Full of Fun made a balloon birthday cake for Paul Michael Garrison. We had a birthday party for him in Greenville and had lots of fun.

Puppet Show in Greenville, SC


Hands Full of Fun is getting ready for a puppet show tomorrow at a Bible Club in Greenville, SC. I'll be sure to bring the camera and maybe get some kids with the puppets. Maybe Kevin, the Magician, will show up. I'm not sure how we are going to do the puppet songs - we do not have a battery for our sound system. I'm sure the kids will love the puppets even without the sound system, but might have to invest in a battery. No balloons tomorrow.

Hands Full of Fun - Balloons, Puppets, and Magic


Busy, Busy week. I just got back from a conference in Myrtle Beach last night; it is good to be home here in Greer, South Carolina. Melissa did a Balloon workshop Monday night at BJU and Charlie helped out. We did puppets last night at Chick-fil-a in Greenville and everyone had a lot of fun.

Hands Full of Fun - Birthday Party


Well, we're back home after entertaining at the birthday party in Greenville, SC. It looked like everyone loved Hands Full of Fun today! We started with puppets and had a "Happy Birthday" script with Ralph and Elmer. I did magic tricks in between. The kids were entertained with the sponge ball magic tricks. After the puppet show and magic, Melissa and I made some animal balloons for the children. We're tired, but had a lot of fun.


Birthday Party preview


No blogs yesterday, because of my birthday. But today Melissa and I getting ready for a Birthday Party this afternoon! We entertaining through puppets, magic and balloons. The puppets scripts Melissa wrote are ready to go and now I have to do some memorizing. One of the scripts gives hints to the kids about animal balloons. And, of course, the puppets Ralph and Elmer will make a showing. More later.

Puppet Practice


Puppet practice tonight! We went over new scripts and new songs and had a lot of fun. Another thing we got accomplished was taking some pictures of Melissa and me so our Hands Full of Fun website could be updated. Before there was only a picture of Melissa and me with our balloon Mr. McDougal. And the picture was very grainy, so it was time that we showed you our puppets, Ralph and Elmer. We hope you like them - these puppets make Hands Full of Fun . . . extra fun.

Magic Tricks


Some of you are probably wondering what kind of magic I do. I love sponge ball magic tricks and so do the kids. I usually try to do some magic tricks in between our puppet songs or puppet stories. I also do coin magic, rope tricks, silk tricks, and card tricks. And some magic tricks that use specialized props like the crayons in the picture.
