A Night At the Carnival

A few weekends ago, the girls and I were driving by the mall and saw a small carnival being set up. They were so excited to see it and had a thousand questions about what it was. I mentioned that maybe we could get dad to take us one of these nights to see it. After our date on Friday we decided we would grab the girls and go for a few minutes and let them see the rides while I took some photos for some creative ideas I had. They had so much fun and were just in awe about what was going on. I had fun taking pictures of them too.

One of the best smells is that of the Cotton Candy. It just brought back memories of growing up and going to the fair every summer. The smell of that Cotton Candy was so wonderful. Savannah kept seeing people eating it and wanting some of that "fuzzy stuff." Of course when dad finally bought them some they could not get enough of it. Who could?

The girls also really wanted to ride some of the rides, but at $5 a ride they were limited to the little kid rides. Not that they would go on any of the bigger ones. But Savannah was insistent on wanting to ride the horsies, so her and Mirian got on the Carousel with the horses and loved it. Mirian started throwing a tantrum it when it was time to get off. She was not done. After that they got to ride in a mini car and drive it around the ride as well. It was so fun to see them find so much fun and joy out of the simple rides and to see their faces just light up from the whole experience of it.


Isaac just sort of hung out. Dad hasn't lost his skill and a killer throw as he won him a little gecko at one of the games of knocking down the bottles with a baseball. The guy running it gave him one ball for free. He knocked it down, and the guy continued to try and talk him into hitting three more for the baby. We Beau smiled, shrugged it off and said he didn't have the money to do it the guy threw him the gecko for the baby. We had a great time that night. It not only brought back memories of us growing up and going to the fair every summer, but it also was so much fun to see our girls get so much joy out of riding the rides and the excitement of it all.
