Carnival rides

We went out yesterday evening to see a hot air balloon lift-off.  They promised 25 hot air balloons all inflating and taking flight at the same time. But, the weather must have not been favorable enough, since there were no balloons in sight.  We think that even if they weren't going up in the sky, they should have at least inflated them for the spectators.  Instead, Grace rode some of those rickety carnival rides that are so rusty they make you pray the entire time you are on them....at least she is too young to notice and just had fun!

Do you see the rust on these chains?
As we were watching, Kyle said, "you are only as strong as the weakest link."  

Love this photo!  She is having a ball!

Not so sure about the roller coaster at first.

But she rode it like this - hands in the air - almost the entire time.
