Carnival 2011

We made it to the Midway today, the last day the carnival will be open. Lucky for us, it was "Dollar Day" - all the rides were a dollar (down from up to 3, maybe more). The first thing Nathan saw was a train. We paid our $2 each (this train wasn't part of the carnival company), and then he proceeded to tell us he didn't want to get on. Well, too bad! The bell and horn were too loud for him (hardly loud at all though).
This is the 2nd ride he wanted on. He went around 2 or 3 times before he started crying and had to get off. Someday he'll get it!

Then we all went on the "Bear" ride - it spun. We ran into Nathan's cousin, Anthony, who wanted to ride with us. All the guys like it, but I felt otherwise. I'm not a fan of spinning.

On our way out, we stopped at the petting zoo where kids could ride ponies or even a camel. Nathan chose the pony. He rode with a guy walking along side of him, but didn't need his daddy to walk by him this time.

And then it was time to go home and take a nap (that was the bargain - he got to ride the pony if he took a nap when we got home.)

Now he's ready to go to Sea World, talking about fish and whales and jellyfish :)
