Carnival

Last weekend we decided to take the kids to the local Firemans Carnival. We went a couple years ago, and I think we decided we wouldn't do it again, but here we are! Apart from being extremely expensive ($20 for a ride book that got the kids 2 rides each), people smoking and generally an interesting scene... the kids had fun. We started off walking around for a good 10 minutes looking at the 5 different rides while the kids tried to decided which ones looked like they weren't too scary. They finally both decided on the big slide and went up together. By the time Caroline got to the top there was a line of 10 kids behind her. Once she saw the not so friendly, (creepy carni) working at the top she refused to move. Chris had to go up and go down with them, which they both loved.

 Next Killian went on the firetrucks. He laughed and smiled the whole time, then screamed and screamed when the ride ended!

We couldn't talk Caroline into the swings, but Charlotte didn't care, she wanted to go and she went alone. She loved every second!

 Caroline and Killian watched, Killian wanted very badly to go on too.

 Charlotte had used her two ride tickets and Caroline and Killian each had one left, so they went on the little cars together. Caroline decided to make her "grammy" goofy face instead of smiling. Thanks Grammy.

 We finished rides and the kids got some cotton candy to share. Cotton Candy is not easy to share with three kids...

Before we left we went on the old firetruck for a ride into town and back. Charlotte got to sit up front and do the siren. She had so much fun.

 Meanwhile, we squished into the small back. The other people we rode with gave Killian a ball so he was happy.

 Caroline just loved her hat and ringing the bell constantly!

We headed home after the firetruck ride and decontaminated bathed the children before bed!
