Carnivale

This weekend is our town's big carnival days. We start off on Friday night with fireworks outside our front door (that I did not even bother trying to take pictures of because of the streetlamps between us and the show) and then Saturday morning is the parade. My oldest was in the parade with his Taekwon Do club:



We didn't see this happen but he broke his first board with a side kick at the parade. Here is the stunning reenactment:



A guy we know has started his own hot dog stand for events around town and a friend of ours and his dog went in the parade with the hot dog cart, mascot style:





This is the hot dog guy's wife. Isn't she a trooper?



After the parade we took the kids to the carnival. Our youngest is getting to the age where he wants to go on the bigger kid rides with his brother, thank the goddess because there is no way I'm getting on those rides anymore. When did that happen, anyway? I used to love rides. The faster, the better. Now? OMG. I nearly yack just watching them.
Anyway, the boys had such a good time on the rides ($$) and playing games ($$$). We are broke and can't afford to pay the phone bill this month now but that's okay. ;-P

Superman ride, the first go 'round.



Kiddie motorbike ride:



The Spider. 5 minutes after they got off this ride, a girl puked her guts out about 10 times on it. It was so nasty watching the carny gagging while hosing it down.



Superman ride, the sequel:





Tomorrow is the last day, hopefully we don't get rained on. There is a pancake breakfast and lots of entertainment down in the park. Always a good time.
