The Ferris Wheel

Months ago we drove by a carnival and Joss wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel. We told her she could go when she was bigger. She associated being bigger with being 4, so for months she would see a carnival and say how excited she was to ride on the Ferris Wheel when she was 4. So when she turned 4 we looked for a little carnival we could take her to to ride her Ferris Wheel.

We actually found this cute little one going on and they were having a great deal at the time we showed up, so we did some of the other rides as well. Jackson was just tall enough for some of them. It turned into a really fun day!

Jackson rode the slide with Shawn. It was a little intimidating:


They had several fun houses, which the kids loved, although Joss nailed a window in a mirror and window maze, which deflated her for a little bit. This one they made it through successfully.


It was a perfect little carnival for kids. They had a few rides that little kids could go on without parents. This one was a big truck ride.


This one was Joss' favorite (besides the ferris wheel). The cars would ride along and then fly around the corners. She would laugh so hard!


Shawn took them on this bee ride. He said it actually got his stomach to turn a little... amateur


Here is Joss on her ferris wheel! She loved it. It scared me a little to have her go up so high, but she wasn't scared at all. She was having so much fun!



It really was a great day. All the carni's were very nice and friendly (I don't know why, but I was so surprised by that) and there were almost no lines. It was fun to just spend some time with the family!
