Carnival Time!

Tonight was the Novak Carnival!  The boys were very excited to go.  I think they remembered the train they rode last year and they were all about riding that guy again.  This year, there was this swing ride there and Conner and Ben asked to do that first... there were a couple of scary moments before the ride actually started where I thought I might have to go rescue Conner.... he didn't look too sure that he had made the right choice to jump into this swing...  But Ben was really pumped up about it and as soon as the swings started circling around, Conner smiled nonstop.  They both loved the ride!

Next was the train... always a hit!

We headed inside to check out the bouncers... they had a slide and a bouncy bus that the guys loved!  After we watched them do those for a while, it was time to go back outside... Conner was not happy!  Check out his awesome pout with his arms folded across his chest....

We decided to make the fire truck our last stop at the carnival.  They both thought the truck was very cool...

Then we began the walk to the van, complete with Conner screaming and yelling that he didn't want to go home yet and Ben saying, "see Mom, I'm a good listener!"  Ben got into the van all smiles....  Conner, not so much....  he is certainly "Mr. Attitude" lately.  In fact, while Conner was crying, Ben says, "Oh my, he is in a mood again, isn't he?!"  Nick and I got a good laugh...

Overall, it was another great carnival this year!
