Last month, we took the kids to the Carnival that came to town. They had a blast! Anabelle was cautious on the rides only going on the slide, the train, fun houses, the carousel, and one time on the race cars. Brady, on the other hand, is a little dare devil. He went on the tilt-a-whirl, the scrambler, the Bears, the Race Cars, the slide, the carousel, the fun houses, the alligator roller coaster, and the elephants. Good thing his daddy wanted to go on the rides with him because I think I would have lost my cookies on a few of them! Brady was disappointed that the ferris wheel was not at the carnival this year.
A couple of the rides were having issues. When Brady went on the Alligator Roller Coaster, the power cord got tripped up on a big piece of steel that was in the middle area. This made the ride lose power, and Brady and the other kids got stuck on the ride. The carny guy had to pull the roller coaster back so that the kids could get off. We were given a VIP ticket ride. Then, Brady went on the Elephant ride. This ride was supposed to go up and down, but only a couple of elephants were going up and down. All the others just stayed down and went around. EVERY time that Brady circled us, he shouted, "When is this gonna go up!?". The carny shut this ride down, and gave us our tickets back.
The kids liked playing the game where you tried shooting the red cups down in hopes to win a stuffed animal. Their daddy also helped them with this game. Good thing because my aim is prolly way off! :)
We also took them to the parade and fireworks on Sunday. The weather was really nice for the parade. It's usually smoking hot, but it was very pleasant with a cool breeze.
Jason and I had Jennifer babysit Saturday night of the carnival weekend so that we could spend some time together kid free. :) We went out to eat, to the bar while it was raining, and then to the carnival beer garden once the rain stopped. While we were there, we met up with some friends and went back to their house for a bonfire.
It was a good, fun weekend!
Here's some pics of us at the carny!
