West Jordan Carnival

The kids and I went to the West Jordan carnival with Rob's sister Stephanie and her family. Evan had a blast riding the white trash rides with his cousins and Lily just wished she was big enough to ride!First ride of the day - The Ferris Wheel. We bought the kids unlimited ride wristbands but none of the adults wanted to pay the $25 to ride the fabulous/scary carnival rides. Well the first ride the kids wanted to go on, the ferris wheel, the boys weren't big enough to ride by themselves. Luckily the attendant let Stephanie ride with them. Lucky her!!Taylor and Evan loved this "fruit ride" as Brian and I called it. It was called Berry Express but they looked more like apples or tomatoes than strawberries. The boys felt so big riding it all by themselves.Love the polite hippy chic driving the bus who tried to move her head out of the way when I was taking the picture!Evan rode these cars about 10 times. There was only a handful of rides he could ride by himself so good thing he enjoyed going on the same ride over and over.Taylor and Evan would get off the ride and run right back to the entrance gate to ride it again! Nothing like two cousins riding on a motorcycle together!The classic merry-go-round - Evan and Taylor
Lily was so happy to finally get on a ride. The attendant said Taylor was too short to ride by himself, funny thing because Evan and Taylor are pretty much the same height but Evan's hair makes him seem a bit taller. So since Taylor needed an adult to ride with him, the attendant let me ride for free though I couldn't just leave Lily so we both got a free ride. Lily LOVED it! It was a HOT day as revealed by Lily's sweaty hair.Lily's favorite cousin, Whitney. Lily will repeat Whitney's name over and over. She loves being with her.Evan riding in another car. I think he felt like he needed to ride in every car before we left.
James and Lily dancing to the music with Stephanie.Lily LOVES dancing! Every time music comes on she starts grooving.Cute Baby James!
The kids had a blast on the rides and going through the jungle gym/slide a hundred times and the adults enjoyed their funnel cake. Come on, you have to eat funnel cake at a carnival, right?
