Kiddie Carnival

Thursday night we were invited to the Kiddie Carnival for a double birthday party.  Banks was really worried that he would be too big to ride.  But he was the first one of my children to find something to ride on...



Mary Reese ran to the mini-coaster and hopped on with Emma Hensley...



Banks also fit on the coaster.  Jack thought he might like to ride until it got going...



Owen thought he was big enough to ride too...



After the look of horror he shot me after the first round, he decided he liked it.

They also rode the Kiddie Carnival's version of the Tilt-a-Whirl...





I thought Owen would love riding the baby cars.  At first he wasn't too impressed...



But then he rode it so long, he had the entire ride to himself...



Banks was looking forward to riding the airplanes all night long.  As soon as they started up, he hopped on...



Mary Reese grabbed a seat on the plane with her friend Mary Bibb...



...and rode round and round...



It all took me back to 5 years ago.  This was our first trip to the carnival...





It seems like yesterday they were that size.  The years have flown by!!!  I have a feeling I am going to blink and they will be graduating from high school.

We ended the night with these adorable cupcakes...



...ice cream and juice boxes...
