Every year, a large catholic church in town puts on a huge carnival for one weekend in their parking lot. I took the girls two years ago but we didn't go last year. This year, the girls really wanted to go so we headed over there after Daddy got home from church.
First stop was the petting zoo. The girls loved holding little chicks. Kyle wanted to hold one until he he felt its sharp little feet. He then wanted nothing to do with it. Makena held a bunny but the poor thing was shaking so badly. Kyle loved the miniature pony and spent most of his time petting it.
The kids rode a lot of rides. They loved all of them and we loved watching them have so much fun. Their first ride was of course the motorcycles.
I think she's ready for a real one!
I loved that they had plenty of rides that Kyle was tall enough to go on.
I read on the website that they had pony rides. Makena was so excited but when we got there we found out there were no pony rides. She was sad but was probably just as happy to ride the merry-go-round. She loves horses -- even the hard plastic kind!
It was getting hot and we ran out of ride tickets so we went to play some games in the tent. The games were made for little ones and every player won a prize. The people working the booths were super sweet to the kids and didn't mind when Kyle stood closer than he was supposed to or when the girls didn't quite toss the beanbag in the right spot. The kids were so excited to win prizes.
We look forward to the carnival again next year!
