Carnival!

One of the greatest things about living in a small town, are the annual festivities. We have noticed the small carnival sponsored by the chamber of commerce before, but we never went. This year we thought Izzy would enjoy the smaller rides.


The rides were pretty rickety and none of the workers spoke English. It surprised me that Izzy didn't flip out when they picked her up and plopped her down in a ride. Most of the time she was the only one on the ride so they just let her keep on going around and around.

She may not have a joyous expression on her face, rest assured that she was anxious to get on the next ride. She talked about the carnival and the roller coaster for days.
Izzy's looking pretty nervous about this "roller coaster." Justin couldn't go with her because of the height restrictions. After the first turn she was holding on for dear life. I was a little nervous until both of her feet were safely on the ground. Even though she looks terrified, she did have a good experience and I think that she will be a roller coaster rider some day.
What about Wes? He was a pretty happy guy chillin' in his stroller, eating the straps.

Totally fun. I am always afraid of carnival and fair rides because they are so rickety usually..but somehow I always end up riding them anyway!

Your little Izzy is looking fantastic with her expressions. Such a big girl on those big rides. And the little man in the stroller, he was so nice to keep himself entertained with the straps.

These pics are so cute with all the expressions including Wes's tongue! So So Cute! I love how you did Izzy's hair. BTW was there any cotton candy? That's usually my favorite part with the roller coasters. It'd be so fun to take the kids to Lagoon. Also I did show your blog to my family at my grandparents house especially my grandpa. They loved the pics.
