We went to our city's local carnival on Sunday afternoon. The boys definitely enjoyed the rides, but this little craft tent was their favorite. They got to make some sand art, and this picture shows them doing "spin art" on some frisbees they got to take home. Free fun - this was the best part!
They were going too fast for the action shots to be any good, so this will have to do. They LOVED these swings!
This is how Callie saw the fair!
Me and my boys on the ferris wheel - it was the first time for all 3 of us!! My stomach definitely lurched forward a bit the first time up...there's something about rides that can be packed up on the back of a truck that makes me a bit nervous....
The kiddie roller coaster - they thought it was hilarious (again, don't mind the duct tape on the handlebars!!!!)It was fun - we walked there to avoid paying for parking (it's just a money trap - these fairs) and made it back to our car JUST before the rain started!!! We had fun, and we were able to go home and make our first batch of homemade ice cream of the season. We intended to do strawberry, but Jacob requested Oreo ice cream first, so that won out. We'll have to wait until next weekend for the strawberry ice cream.

homemade ice cream...yum yum!!! sure wish i could come on over and steal a bit! the carnival looks like fun! i've never been on a Ferris Wheel either. the picture of the roller coaster is hilarious...duct tape for one and the HUGE boy sitting behind josiah looks like he's about to attack him! :) looks like a fun family outing! :)
WOW...what fun. My mom never let us go to the carnival because of that safety reason...it would come to local strip mall parking lot every year and every year she wouldn't let us go...seriously, this is why...duct tape? :) ha.
Glad you guys got to get out to experience the Fair too! We had a great time, although I'm right there with you about some of those rides. Wish we had been able to get Grayson on one of the roller coasters, but maybe the Goofy one at Disney in a few weeks!!
My mom never let us go to those carnivals either. You're right about rides that are portable making you nervous! It looks like the boys had a blast, so maybe I need to get over my fears and let the kids go this summer when we have one in town. I can't believe you had never been on a Ferris Wheel before!! I'm sure your boys will be talking you into trying lots of new things over the next ten years. Just wait until their 12and they want to go to Kings Dominion...good luck with that!
I totally agree - the idea that the rides were tooling down the interstate earlier the same week gives me a no so great feeling!!
So fun! We missed this one, but I think we're going to head to the Strawberry Festival on Sunday afternoon! Definitely have to wear red that day (mostly to disguise all the strawberry stains we're bound to have on our clothes:)
