Carnival

A few days ago a friend gave me 12 tickets to a carnival that was set up in the mall parking lot... so it was a pretty small one. My dad and me took 3 of the kids there for 4 rides each. Devin, my youngest sister Amy and Lizzy went. They were all jazzed about going on two of the biggest rides first as the other ones looked too "kiddy". So they went on the first one which strapped them in and started going up and down in a circular motion and after about 3 rounds the girls start screaming in fright...Devin joins in thinking that maybe it's more fun that way. But the girls weren't enjoying themselves at all and wanted down right away...poor things looked terrified, so needless to say they didn't want to go on the other big ride as they had enough. Thankfully there was this tall slide that they did enjoy and got to go one twice while I took Devin on the gravity UFO looking one where it spun us around so fast we were stuck to the wall, Devin and me were laughing the whole time at each other trying to pull our arms away from the wall as the gravity was keeping us tightly pinned, afterwards I felt pretty sick with my head throbbing from the spinning...not my cup of tea! After that the kids went on a big jungle gym thing where they had to climb some stairs, jump on a bouncing balloon, walk across a netted bridge and slide down a very slow slide, they seemed to enjoy that one too so at the end of it all I guess it was a success..Yeay!

Getting ready for the "big scary ride!"

It started off good but then....

..up and away....

....Ohhh the look on Amy's face tells it all "GET ME DOWNNNN!"

Amy happy again!
