A Trip to the Carnival
Thursday and Friday it was time to go out and have some fun with the family. So what did we do? Well the town has a carnival in town for “Oktoberfest” and we hit it up. Thursday was just a night for the rides before the GRAND OPENING on Friday, we figured this would be the best time to hit it up with very few people.
As you can see we decided to walk up there for two reasons. 1. to get the kids really tired out before bed. (hahaha) 2. just in case there was no parking. (why fight it?) The walk was nice and the kids had a ton of fun making fun of mom as we walked through tall weeds and knew mom was scared of snakes. Once we were up there you could see where the ferris wheel was and other colorful rides that lit up the town. As we approached we decided to stop off at DQ (Diary Queen) first. Any time Little A spots this place he starts screaming, “Cream, cream.” So he was a bit disappointed 
that they got burger and fries and not the “cream.” But he soon cheered up.

We only went on a few rides before the sprinkles started coming from above and the rides started to slow down and stop. But BabyGirl, BalletGirl and Little A all rode on the jeeps and motorcycles, then I took them on the merry-go-round. Merry-go-Rounds no longer agree with me, when I got off I felt like I was going to spin and fall. Woooh, is that what age does? haha.
SoccerBoy and dad went over to Zero Gravity and spun and spun. You could hear the excitement as this was SoccerBoy’s first time. Once they were done though it was time to turn around and go home. By the time we came home we were all a little bit damp, but everyone dried off shortly an
d on Friday we went right back up there.

The kids did a few games and then we went to eat at this little place called, “The Filling Station” which looks like a tiny (old fashioned) gas station but instead of gas they serve food. It is really cute and they have two pumps outside that the girls took pictures by. Doesn’t it look cute? One bad thing though, 
I ordered a sausage sandwich and the hubby didn’t tell me the small bowl was hot sauce….I thought it was pork and beans and took a big bite. OUCH! But it was good….not the hot sauce. We have been wanting to visit this little place for some time but it has always been packed.

Today will be just a day to sit back and relax. The kids have already been watching movies: The Plumm Summer, Barney, Girls just Want to have Fun and of course my movie, “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” which I highly recommend.
Get ready to sign up to win a Wendy’s Gift card, I’ll announce it in my next post. Hope ya’ll have a great weekend!
