Mac and Eli go to a carnival

Tonight, our neighbor's church, had a big carnival. It was not that much smaller than the Daviess County fair. It was pretty big for a church. Anyway, we decided to have dinner there, and I went with very low expectations. But I must say, I had the best chicken strips that I have EVER, and I mean EVER had! Tast-eee. Mac devoured his hot dog, which was a pretty big deal for me since he hasn't been eating all that well lately.
Clearly, the night was mainly for Mac, but I think Eli enjoyed the people watching. He fell asleep in the baby Bjorn as we were walking out at 8:30 and slept through the transition all the into his bed. I couldn't believe it.
Mac was amazing. He jumped right on the carousel, which didn't surprise me that much. But when he willingly got on a Nemo ride that was pretty fast and jerky, I thought for sure he would melt down and scream to get off, but he didn't . I need to have more faith in him and worry less! But the biggest shocker to me was when he and Nathan got on a roller coaster. HE LOVED IT! He immediately wanted to get on it again, so they did. My baby is getting so big.

The title of this post sounds like a good title for a kid's book!!!

Sounds like fun! Kooky to think of a carnival this time of year especially since it 43 degrees here right now...

They're definitely not babies anymore, are they? Glad you had a good time!

K and J's mom said...

I bet they loved it!!! After seeing him run that Gator, I'm not surprised one bit that he loved the roller coaster with Daddy!

Mine, too! Nathan hated roller coasters. Way to go Nathan.

Love,
