Dear Friends and Family,
We had a most wonderful weekend.
Friday, we went to get mail. And, there was a package for P. It was a scooter from her grandparents. So, even if it was late when we got home, we let her put on her helmet and scoot around the courtyard a little bit before going to sleep.
Saturday, P took her scooter (with Mr. mouse) to get bagels for breakfast. Then, after setting up a USB drive to backup our data, we set off for the carnival.
P was so excited to see all of the rides. She watched the ferris wheel. She watched several of the grown up rides. There was the one that's shaped like a boat and swings pendulum style. There was the one that's like cars going out a wavy centrifuge. There was the one where you get in a cage and they spin you vertically.
She watched the kid rides. There was a relatively mild train ride. We asked her if she wanted to ride it and she said yes. Mr. mouse bought $20 worth of tickets. The rides were about $3 each.
She got on the train ride and watched and waved and smiled. We were so proud. Then, she got on the carousel. I went on with her. When the horse started moving, she asked me to let go of her so she could ride alone. Okay.
Then there was the ride like Dumbo's ride at Disney. And, she rode it without a hitch. Then there was the ride with cars where the cars fling out at the corners. And, she rode it without a hitch. Then there was the ride with hot air balloons where you spin as you ride in the air. And, she rode it without a hitch.
We bought 5 more tickets and I took P on the ferris wheel. And, then, she asked to ride more rides. We were so impressed we bought 9 more tickets and told her she could ride three more rides. She re-rode the Dumbo ride, the hot air balloon ride and the carousel. The funny thing was, she wanted to ride one of the grown up rides, but we told her she wasn't tall enough, so she picked the carousel for her last ride.
Then, she watched the games and asked if she could play one. We ponied up $6 for her to play a guaranteed win game where she had to fish for sharks. When she won, she wanted the sword which we vetoed. She picked a blue monkey instead. And, that, my friends, was our first carnival adventure with P. I went to the amusement park a lot growing up so it was extra special for me to see P enjoy it so much.
On our way home, she asked if we could go again on Sunday. We told her maybe next weekend, but not two days in a row. Sounds like P enjoyed it as much as I did.
Cheers!
