Carnival 2010

Last night we took B to the Summer Carnival with
Uncle Tim, Aunt Teresa & Olivia.
Brandon has been asking to go to the carnival since LAST summer...
B was SO excited that he refused dinner (and the promise of dessert later)
The #1 thing he wanted to do was the fish ping-pong toss.

Daddy won him a fish, which is now in his room and is named "Diego"
(not to be confused with Diego the bear or the cartoon boy)

They also played the goldfish game and a ball toss and the water squirting race

Then it was time for the rides!

(the kids are showing their tickets as they wait in line)

B picking out his future car

Aunt Teresa holding all of Olivia's winnings AND taking a picture

Above is the first car ride, below is the second car ride (a completely different ride)
Do you see a similarity in cars???

You'll never guess what B's favorite color is
Or who picked out each car they rode.

Then they went on the flying dragons
B was scared at first, but after he got on it he loved it and said
it was one of his favorite rides.

His other favorite ride was the helicopter (like last year)
although Uncle Tim got to go with him this year b/c
Olivia was just a little to short to go on by herself.
You can see the excitement in Tims face...

Then the dads took the kids onto the "fun house" area.

One of the last rides was this car ride.
None of us realized these cars were different.
When the kids went around the sides of the oval it would whip them around.
below is before the ride started.

The one below this is AFTER the ride started.
Olivia did NOT like it, poor girl! She was crying
and Brandon liked it but thought it was too loud so he had
his hands on both of his ears which meant he wasn't holding on so he would
smoosh poor Olivia when they went around the side.
So needless to say that was basically the end of the night haha.

Overall the kids had a blast and B was already asking to go again when we left.
