Carnival rides....

...are fun!

There is a carnival set up in our local parking lot shared by Home Depot and Walmart. We took the kids there last night and it is very interesting how different all three of my kids reacted to the rides. Maybe it has something to do with their ages, but mostly I think it's their own individual personalities.

While in most of his daily activities, he's a bit of a wuss, Nicky really enjoyed the rides. He, Thomas and I went on the big boat swing ride. Nicky was into putting his arms up in the air at the peaks of the swings, while Thomas would not let go of the bar. The three of us also went on the ride where you stand with your back against the wall and the ride spins at a great speed while the axis of rotation changes. Alexis stayed away from the bigger rides. The only ride she went on was one of those "teacup" type rides where you sit in the car and you can control the spin of the car by turning the steeringwheel-like device in the center of the car.
