Fall Rides

Hmm,  what could they be doing?  They are strategically planning which rides to go on at the City of Fun Carnival.  E saw this carnival on his daily ride to middle school on the other side of town.  With a free weekend & pretty weather we decided to give it a try.  (I was a teeny bit sad that none of the children wanted to visit the pumpkin patch. I guess they really are growing up.)

We gave each child a set of tickets and let them choose where to spend them. Here are some of the highlights.

 J headed for the ride closest to the ticket booth.  M accompanied him just for fun.

 E waited patiently while the younger three rode on cars & motorcycles.

E finally got to ride on a spinning 'Starship'.

K couldn't resist the merry go round. 

All of them rode jeeps.  

 My cute & crazy kids.  They are really wonderful kids.  They do their chores and pitch in whenever I ask (not always enthusiastically, but they help nonetheless). They do their homework.  They play kindly with each other. They make each other laugh.  They love each other. And I love them.
