Avery's first carnival....

Saturday afternoon we found a carnival in town. Since the weather was pretty good we decided to go over and check it out. We thought it would be a good preview of what's to come when we travel to Disneyworld this week. Kiesha and her girls joined us and they took as much pleasure toting Avery around as they did riding the rides. Our little daredevil will try anything, she was great when we would put her on a ride but if it was something that we could not accompany her on she would get upset when the ride started to move.

She jumped right in the little boats and started twisting the steering wheel, however when the boat moved she wanted mommy or daddy to get her out!

Mekarlie and her friend Kirsten enjoyed going through the funhouse.

The carousel had all sorts of animals on it. For Avery's second time on we chose the monkey for our little monkey. Paul looks very enthused doesn't he?

Mekenzie spent her time texting her friends so Kiesha decided to go over and try to get her involved.

This was the little caterpillar roller coaster for the little ones. Once again Avery got on with no difficulty but once the thing took off she was fit to be tied!

Avery really does enjoy the carousel. She would wave every time she saw us as she passed by.

The carnies were calling us the paparazzi because every ride we put Avery on mom and I took multiple pictures. In this one even the carnie worker wanted to get in on the action.

Mekarlie and Kirsten loved the slingshot ride.

I took this picture just to show how safe the carnival rides are: notice the rope serving as a seat belt on these boats.

All in all it was a good time, we rode a few rides, ate snowcones, played a couple of games (all the girls came home with balls or stuffed animals), and enjoyed each other.

I think Avery is definitely ready for some ride at Disney World!!
