Art City Days Carnival

My dad called and invited us all to the carnival in Springville since Wes was still gone, I took the kids over.







Hailey was dying to go on the Dragon, so she and Zac did this one first. I was more nervous than she was, this being her first real ride! She was laughing the whole time. We could hear her giggle every time they came by.












After the dragon, we put the kids on the choo-choo train...


















...see how impressed Riley was!












The merry-go-round was next. Riley was almost impressed with that. He would giggle a little bit when he saw Grandma and Grandpa waving at him when we would pass.














Hailey's still having a ball.









Hailey went off the big slide/fun house thing twice.












WHEEEEE!!











Is he having fun yet? NOPE









She's still having fun











Last but not least, a temporary tattoo. We couldn't find the face painting booth, so this was the next best thing. She was so excited to show her daddy.











What little girl doesn't need a butterfly on her arm? HEHE! Proud moment for me :)











WE DID IT!! We finally got a smile out of Riley and all it took was a giant bag of popcorn. DUH mom!

Places like that have kind of a magical quality to them when you are Hailey's age. It must have been so fun to watch her take it all in. Then you get to be my age and you realize how creepy the carnies running the ride are and how everything smells not so good. Oh, to be little again. :)

I just want to know if you saw any creepy "Carni" folk. I would be disappointed if you didn't. I love that kids have fun at a carnival regardless of the natural creepiness of the spectacle. Love the butterfly!
