We took my girl to the carnival

Yesterday Vance and I decided to take Brooke to the carnival, which she would spot as we were passing it on the freeway. I told her that it was a circus, as in Olivia Saves the Circus, so she was really excited.

We played a few games, then decided to test out the rides, and let me tell you, my girl is a little daredevil. She proclaimd that she wanted to go on the "wee" and when I saw what "wee" she was talking about, my heart sunk a little. I felt deep in my heart that she would get to the top and freak out, so I let Vance take her up there. He said she cried a bit at the top because a stranger had to carry her to get into the potato sack, but once they were in there... she laughed.

We walked around the fair,


played more games,


ate dinner,



and actually saw a mini-circus. Halfway through the performances, little lady looks at me with her big brown eyes and says, "almost done?" So we left early..


Then we posed for a few pictures,

& took another trip back to the rides. Little lady chose the cars next, which sound innocent, but would whip around the corner as it was going around the track. She loved it all the way up to the moment when she didn't. Luckily the ride came to an end soon after.


Then came the dragons (waiting in line),



some cotton candy (my FAVE!)


& loads and loads of USELESS JUNK we'll never play with again!


All in all, it was a great night. Can't wait until next year!
