Guess Where We Went?


A small town carnival. It was the first time for everybody.
Don't you love first-time things with your kids? I wasn't sure how they would react.
.

They laughed so hard they couldn't breathe.
I remember that feeling.
.

Sawyer liked the little kiddie rides.
.

Even though the steering wheels didn't really steer,
he didn't know, or care.
.

Where are the big kids, Sawyer?
.

Ah. The Umbrellas. The ride has not yet started. Are you guys going to be okay?
.

It looks a little ify.
.

Yep. They're okay.
.

Sawyer wasn't tall enough for the big slide.
.

So he waited his turn...
.

For this daring motorcycle carousel.
It ended up being his favorite. While the other kids whipped their brains around the bigger rides, Munch went back to this one three times.
Grandpa took us, Grandpa treated us, Grandpa loves us.
Thank you Grandpa!

Ahh, Carnivals, Fairs, Sports Shows, Conventions, Grand Openings. Brings back lots of memories.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! You are about to witness the spectacular Human Torch! Joe Gilbride has doused himself with gasoline and is about to climb that tower before you."

Cue music (James Bond theme)

Glad you all had so much fun!

llllllll, I did not go on any rides because my brain goes whacko on them now-a-days. Too dizzy!
Betsy- that's amazing! He was a record holder, wasn't he?

I love a parade!!! Great photos!

Joe did not hold any records. His partner was the first non-Mexican to win the Acalpulco Cliff Diving Championship, though. He was from Argentina. He couldn't pronounce Betsy, so he called me Pepsi.

We're off to a party at a District Attorney's house. I won't know anyone but Dennis' boss, so I'll do my best to mingle.
