School Carnival

 On April 5th, I took the kids to the Carnival at Ian's school.  It was only $5/kid, which included all the rides and free cotton candy! It was a lot of standing around for me, but the kids sure had a good time, especially since it wasn't there school and they didn't know any of the kids there. Ian inisited on dressing as his favorite YouTube star, Blippi, so he kinda looked like a clown, which was ok since he's only 4.  The kids enjoyed riding some (very tame) kiddie rides, playing on the playground, playing the games with prizes, and rock climbing (at least Elisa did).  Here are the pictures:

Elisa learned the hard way to not take off shoes: she had burrs allll over her socks!

The kids on their cotton candy.  Gabe wasn't happy, for some reason or another.  I guess if you're a kid holding cotton candy and aren't happy, you're non other than S-P-O-I-L-E-D lol!

The kids, Ian in particular, loved the bouncy slide!

A silly picture of Elisa on the swing.

Ian loved playing this game, and he got a toy airplane at the end!

Enjoying the carnival

Ian won himself a pair of "Blippi" glasses!

Elisa loved the rock climbing. We waited a long time in line! She got all the way to the top! Gabe tried it too, but he only made it part way up before he gave up and prostrated himself upon the earth, never to climb again *insert eyeroll*

Ian found his bff, Weston, from preschool! Yay!

What a fun evening! Erik was working, of course.  

Side note (err..footnote?) I didn't take the kids this year to their own school's carnival since we had been to this one.  They whined about not going, but I was even more determined not to take them when I saw that the tickets were $20/kid.
