Kiddies First Carnival

A little carnival cropped up in the parking lot of my local mall. It's something that happens once or twice a year here. I decided that THIS time the kids were old enough to go. As we drove up Mira started shouting "I'm so happy, I'm so happy!" She was giggling uncontrollably and Tessa was pointing and squealing. First we hit the ATM because OUCH 40 tickets was 30 dollars! We started the girls out slowly on the flying bugs. That went so well we stepped it up a notch and all piled into the Dizzy Dragon. At first the girls found it exhilarating

But daddy went a bit overboard with the spinning and the mood rapidly declined. Tessa started yelling "Daddy I scared!" and making sad monkey faces. I got THE BEST sad monkey face but I'm totally saving it till HNT, you'll have to check back! Mira was psyched and ventured onto the next ride all alone. It was this thing called the Kangaroo. It lifted little kiddles about 20 feet into the air and then rapidly dropped them . I thought Mira would dissolve into a screaming crying puddle but shit if she didn't yell "Let's do it again" as soon as the ride was over. Next we hit the Ferris Wheel where we got some great family shots

To cap off the evening the girls hopped on ponies and cruised the Merry-Go-Round. My camera started doing freaky stuff and I ended up with this haunting image of Tessa


OK, now that I've totally mommy goozed stay tuned for next week where I rant rave and rage about my unpleasant doctor visit and women who pee all over public toilet seats and leave it. Happy Weekend.
