Last night all the big kids (Jared, Maddie, Jackson and me) took a little trip up the road to the carnival that's set up in the Firewheel Mall parking lot. It was so much fun and the perfect way to spend a crisp, cool Friday night. When we pulled up, Maddie said, "I am so excited!"
We promptly bought some tickets and hopped on the ferris wheel. It was her first time on one and she loved it. I must admit, I was a little scared, but Madison wasn't at all.
Even though Jackson is a veteran ferris wheel rider, he was still a little apprehensive at first. Good thing he had Charlie (the class mascot sent home with him this weekend) to keep him company.
Oh yeah, and Daddo always makes him feel better, too.
After the ferris wheel, we hopped on the merry-go-round. Jackson chose to ride the giraffe, while Maddie went with the more traditional pretty pony.
Then it was over to the helicopters. Unfortnately Madison wasn't quite tall enough to ride this one, so J had to go it alone. Notice he's not alone, though. Just as we were getting him on the ride, a man asked if his granddaughter could ride with him. Guess Jackson looked friendly or maybe the little girl just thought he was cute:)
After his romantic helicopter ride, we ran over to the big slide. Jackson actually went down all by himself! Maddie and Jared came down right after and both kids declared it their favorite ride of the night. Now that's high praise.
The last ride of the night was the cars--as Jared pointed out, don't they look like they're driving Austin Powers' car?
Of course, we couldn't take Charlie to the carnival and not get some popcorn. As the kids munched on that, the hubdog and I polished off a funnel cake. And it was so delicious. Big kids like carnie food, too.
