Rodeo Carnival 2008

We enjoyed a beautiful Thursday afternoon with our Carni Buddies. Jared figured this was the 7th year since he and Jewels took the two oldest of each clan the first time. This is the first time in 2 years that ALL of both families attended - in 2006 little (baby) girl and I stayed home and last year Jennifer and their oldest were sick. We had a fun time. It is interesting what rides/entertainment that were hits just a few years ago are now "boring."


The Park and Ride buses weren't running in the early afternoon. The "mother ship" proved to be adequate transportation.

We did take the shuttle from the Yellow Lot to the event site.


Keri's favorite ride - the slide! This is the smaller one that little girl enjoyed ridding on.

The two oldest kids have been friends since age 3. Now, both are 10!

Our oldest was excited she passed the height test and was able to drive by herself.


Little girl DID NOT like the older kids doing things without her. We spaced the rides between young and old.

Waiting in line...again.
The kids were "so tired" of standing in line they "had to sit".



Big girl took little girl on the Aladin ride. Neither Jewels nor I could fit in the seats!

Baby rides are so boring...


The BIG Slide - Keri's favorite.

Yippee!

This was the first year the older kids (2nd grade and older) wanted to ride the fast rides. Jennifer was lucky to supervise this one!


The Bubble House - a tradition that must be visited.






What can we do next?


Jewels took Jennifer/Jared's kiddos on the G Force. Our oldest and the other sane adults stayed on the ground.

We had just enough tickets for one more ride. The boy choose the Creep Show (which Jewels at first was the Peep Show and objected)



Some rides just aren't as exciting once you're big... I love the girls' expressions!
