After Dark at the Park

Small strange beings come out after the sun goes down at the program area in the Park. The little people lined up to play "grab the baby oil-covered balloon out of the tub of water" game. Supposed to simulate an eagle grabbing a fish from the lake. The kids loved it ~ they would grab their balloon and throw it down on the ground to bust it open and splash everyone within a few feet.
