The HUB lawn bursted with energy and excitement this afternoon during Homecoming’s Best of Penn State Carnival. Not many people can say they ate a snow cone and touched a baby kangaroo in the same day. Don’t you just love our school? Here are some snapshots from the afternoon in case you missed the hype.

Students play giant jenga (blue and white, of course).
Two adorable kiddos scream as they make their way down the giant slide together.
Students put their strength to the test in a classic carnival gameTo borrow a line from Despicable Me, IT’S SO FLUFFY I WANT TO DIE.
Here’s another angle to highlight the pancake flatness of this fluffy guy.The real star of the show was this 9-month-old kangaroo from Virginia.
Students swooned over the attention-loving joey.

The HUB may not be a playground, but today it was a petting zoo.

Last year’s camel returned for round two.

This is how we feel about midterms next week.
What’s a carnival without a dunk tank?
Homecoming is really making a ~splash~ on campus this week.
