Carnival

Last year Ryan and his good friend Ella had a blast at the carnival.  This year they insisted on going together.  I bought Ryan a bracelet so he could go on as many rides as possible.  Ella and Ryan met up with their friend Gabby and they wanted to go on all of the rides themselves.

Ryan was very excited when he saw the Ferris wheel!  At this point Ryan and Ella had met up with Gabby – they insisted on going on the ride by themselves.  I didn’t want to get in their way so each of the parents let them go by themselves – we were all a bit nervous.  What would happen if they freaked etc?  Anyway, as the ride started they looked quite happy – as you probably know how a Ferris wheel works, you need to stop on each level to let people on.  I remember with each stop Ryan would have a moment where his eyes got bigger and looked down.  None of the kids got freaked out and they had a blast.  I think the parents down on the ground were more freaked out.  Check out the photos.

One of my favorite pictures is below. Ryan and Ella are riding the roller coaster and as they come around Ryan sticks out his hand to protect Ella…very cute.
