Patriotistic

We'd been planning on doing a day trip to Lake Winnie this summer....but now we are reconsidering. We went to a local carnival last night. Now, I generally would decline to drop $50 on slapped together rides and rigged games, BUT this carnival benefited our local police department AND most of the games guaranteed a prize for the kids. Plus there was funnel cake. The Lake Winnie reconsideration is thanks to Alya who declined to ride anything.

She also declined to follow appropriate game instructions.

I just looked over at her and she is covered in Nutella, playing a reading game and blowing on her hand.




I said she would not ride, but she had a BLAST regardless.




I had fun too!






For those who read my blog but rarely get on Facebook, Ben popped a balloon with a dart and selected an 8x10 of Barack Obama. I even pointed out that they had Cars and Spiderman. He insisted. Upon returning home, he asked that we hang it in his bedroom. He is such a smart kid.



I adore this picture, not only for Adam's body language, but for Alya holding up her 8x10...princesses...I guess since they didn't have Jack White...




What better way to end than with a funnel cake and coke in the back of the van?
