Carnival

We went to the carnival on Family Night (as always, it's the only night we can afford it!!) Alex always looks forward to the carnival...he LOVES it.
The carnival wasn't the best this year for Alex, he was sure that he was finally tall enough to ride all the rides but unfortunately he wasn't. You have to be 52 inches to ride on the 2 biggest rides there and he is not quite that tall yet. He tried several times to try to get on the ride anyway but he was not successful. He ended up feeling really bad and I felt bad for him. But I guess for sure he'll be tall enough next year. My camera died so I didn't get a lot of pictures.
He went on the Ring of Fire with Parker and Brett and Whytlie. He liked it but only went on it once.

Max loved driving the trucks. He got off the ride and said "awesome Mom" he liked to wave at us as he went by.

He also really liked the motorcycle too. He went on this one a few times.

He hopped on the train with Ashton, Laura and Kelsen. He loves trains and had fun on the ride.

Alex is on the back of the dragon with his arms up. I couldn't get Max to go on this one (he is taking after Dad and being kind of a wuss). Alex has always liked this ride even though it's kind of a baby ride.

This was the highlight of Max's night. All you had to do was make 1 basket and you got one of these cool guys. You get 3 shots for $5, Rich was not successful his first attempt and so we gave Brett the money to see if he could make a shot, luckily the lady gave him a few extras but he did make it so Max picked Spiderman. Then a while later he decided he wanted Hulk so Rich exchanged it. He kept going back and forth and really wanted both so Rich went up to exchange it one last time and the lady said "if you play again I will give you both even if you don't make it" so he tried again and didn't make it but Max ended up with both his "guys" and he was so happy. When we got home Max and Rich were playing with them for an hour. It was really cute.

Are you sure it wasn't Rich that wanted the HULK because he loved it when he was younger. I remember he had a HULK pair of pajamas that he wore all the time.
