I couldn’t believe what we spent at our little neighborhood carnival yesterday.  I could have taken bought two tickets to Disneyland for what I spent yesterday on rides and games and snacks.  OMG.  It was insanely pricey–but the kids had so much fun and I had a blast watching them have so much fun–ride tickets were $1 each and most rides were 3-5 tickets (per kid).  It added up fast as we went around 4:30 and there were no lines for any rides–next time we’ll go when at least waiting in line will take up some time.

Zoë won a prize at the first game we played and it just went uphill from there.  They rode rides and it was childhood at it’s best.  I feel bad that Bill was at home with a mild case of food poisoning and couldn’t join us.  We lasted through the fireworks and I think I had as much fun as the kids.  There isn’t much better than watching your children have unadulterated fun.
