Carnival fun...

I know it's been a while since the carnival happened but I have been quite busy. So, yes we did go to the carnival, yes we did go at 12 noon when they opened, yes it was blazing hot, yes we did sweat so much that we could have filled up a baby pool and yes, we were crazy to do so, but YES, we did have fun!

I must say Gil has been more adventurous lately and I'm loving it. Usually he doesn't do the normal things you would do on a weekend like shopping cause he's just not interested or "there's gonna be too many people there and no parking." He doesn't like going to the beach cause, "It's gonna be too crowded and we're not going to get any shade." So what do we end up

doing? Staying home so daddy can play his video games. Whoopee! So needless to say I am loving that he is getting more in to the "family togetherness" thing.

The fair wasn't bad at all. We went right when they opened cause we already went to the swap meat. When we got inside there was absolutely no one. We got free prizes just for playing even though we didn't win anything. Here's a little recap of our adventurous day...

We saw all the animals at the petting zoo. I think the llama was his favorite cause it was the closest. We did not pay $4 per person to go inside for 15-20 min. I don't even know he would have freaked out being so close or if he really would have enjoyed it. So for now, touching through the fence will have to suffice.

Dezi and daddy rode on the Ferris wheel... he freaked out at first but quickly got used to it. So much so that he wanted to sit by himself which daddy let him do until he stood on the bench and tried to look over the back of the chair. Imagine my angry shock when I saw the pictures later on.

Mommy and Dezi riding the Merry-Go-Round... Yee hee!

This is Dezi with half of his spoils. What a lucky kid.

Daddy trying to show off his baseball skills. To bad he totally missed. Aaaawwww.....maybe next time honey. But look at that form.

Dezi played the ring toss game. He only threw the rings right in front. Oh well, at least he had fun.

Gil kept playing this game because he remembered always going home with one as a kid. He has much determination. To bad it didn't pay off. This guy didn't give us a free prize. Too bad.

Like I said practically no one. The best time to go.

We got on the rides really quick, and even got some free games and prizes. I guess those are perks for being the early birds.
