Carnival!

 Last night was the carnival at Ben and Conner's school.  A train ride was first on the agenda since the boys had been whining about going on the choo choo all day long.  They were the first ones in line.  I assumed that we would go with them since they're so little, but the conductor grabbed them, fastened their seat belt, yelled "All Aboard!" and then they were gone.  I was slightly freaking out, but they came back in one piece and smiling!


Next, we headed inside to do some activities in the gym.  The boys got to jump in this huge bouncy house for a while and they loved it!  Conner got scared about halfway through his turn and said he wanted out, but when I went to get him, he had changed his mind!  I couldn't get a very good picture of this but it was very fun to watch!




They both got to climb up the bouncy slide and go down by themselves!  (They needed a little assistance to get to the top!)  I was a little afraid that they would get up there and then be too scared to slide down, but like usual, they amazed me and just slid effortlessly down the huge slide!  We had to do this a few times!  (Ben is in the red, Conner is in the black!)



Conner wanted to ride the train again, so both boys got to go on another ride.  We got to play some games outside after their ride.  Ben was begging to do the beanbag game so we went and threw beanbags for a little while.

















As predicted, Conner had a bit of a meltdown when it was time to leave.  Ben joined in a little, but Conner really wanted to make sure we knew that he was not happy about leaving!


















We had a great time at the carnival.  The boys are still talking about the choo choo this morning!
