Life is a Carnival Ride

Popcorn. Funnel Cakes. Candy Apples. Cotton Candy. Merry-Go-Round. Ferris Wheel. Blinking Lights. These are all the wonderful things that make summer carnivals so fun. Not to mention, all the crazy people walking around...there was a couple taking their engagement pictures, little kids daring each other to go on the scary rides, kids crying cause they want more sweets, vendors calling crazy things out to get you to go to their booth. There was even a cover Beach Boys band! It doesn't get any better than that. I mean you cant hear "Surfing USA" and not have a smile on your face. It impossible. 

It was a beautiful night. The first warm one in about 2 weeks, which is ridiculous because it is the middle of JUNE but thats how it goes when you live next to the rockies. Complaints aside, that was the most fun I have had at a carnival ever! The rides were great! Not only were they fun to ride but they were even more fun to watch. The daring little kid who goes then then holds on for dear life as the ride starts. I'm pretty sure most of them don't even breath during the ride and then get off acting like it was nothing. There was one ride that twirled you around and around and upside down and backwards and sitting across from me was this boy probably 8 years old. He was holding on sooo hard and had this smile plastered to his face while his eyes were screaming "THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" He just sat there holding on eyes smashed shut the whole time. But when the ride was over he looked at his friends and was like "It was nothing." It totally made my night.

Then there was the little tiny girl whose parents had stuck her on the mini roller coaster. She was balling her eyes out the whole time while mom and dad stood there and took pictures! Talk about being scarred for life! 

 Anyway, here are some pictures from our adventure. Bet you haven't had that much fun on a ferris wheel!
