Carnival Time

From left to right, Ian, Mommy, and Tory preparing to ride the merry go round.


Abbie is also ready to ride the merry go round, possibly the Greatest Ride Ever for her.


Tory is loaded into an elephant ride and refusing to look at the camera.


When we let loose the kids on the elephant ride, they split into three separate cars. As the other children filled the ride, only Ian was fortunate enough to keep an elephant all to himself.


Abbie spinning at full flying elephant speed.


Ian spinning on the opposite end.


Abbie is riding in a fire truck on a car ride, which is a lot like the elephant ride, which is a lot like the merry go round.


Mommy is helping Tory at a fishing game. Ian is wandering off to try to sneak onto Abbie’s car ride.


Abbie won a baton at a duckie game. In three hours, she hasn’t destroyed it yet.


Abbie is riding on a children’s roller coaster. The boys are too little to ride it, which is a fact they loudly protested.


Tory is sitting on a lawn tractor outside the carnival. You can clearly see his cast on his broken leg, and almost read some of the many signatures he’s collected in this past week.


The lawn tractor exhibit might’ve been the boys’ favorite part of the carnival. I wish I’d known that before buying tickets for the rides.


We stopped for ice cream on the way home.


That maybe wasn’t the greatest idea. Notice Abbie won’t eat the cone, but instead sucks the ice cream from inside like one of the many mosquitoes buzzing around our house.
