<![CDATA[Good Old Timey Carnival]]>Yesterday we went to the local carnival which always lands over the 4th of July weekend.  We have meant to go for the past 3 years but something always came up.  So glad we made the time to go yesterday with our good friends.

We saw a dragon roller coaster.

Shoved our trash into the mouth of a clown trash can!  I am thinking this could get BIG money on ebay.

And acted accordingly.

I was blissed out, surrounded by all the colors and vintage carnie goodness.

All 3 of my men, 2 wee ones and my man, climbed through the obstacle course.  Some faster than others! 😉

The signs were gorgeous.

My youngest covered his ears to try and block out all the massive carnival noise, even said no to cotton candy because he had no free hands.  But then, then he spotted the duckie pond.

I wanted to buy/steal the aqua and red duckie.  I settled for a photograph.  Life rule # 427, Do not mess with CARNIES.
