Pierogies, Ice Cream and a Few Rides...

What could be better?  Last night we took Anna to the Millville Carnival.  As you can tell by the title of this post she ate "Rogies" and "I-ceem" and then rode on a few of the rides they had.  We also took her to the playground area of the park because they had a really nice toddler-friendly tiny jungle gym but at that point all she wanted to do was sit and chew on her hand (I am pretty sure her back molars are starting to bother her since she chews on her hands constantly lately) so we took one last walk around and picked up some delicious caramel corn for me and headed home.  Even though it was hot, it was a great summer evening!
The carousel right after it started.  Anna didn't care for it after the first 30 seconds or so.  I don't know if it was the loud music or the horse moving up and down, but she kept saying "OFF! OFF!" so I held her the rest of the time.
She did like these little cars though and rode them a few times.

"Watch out!  Here I come!"
"Look at Daddy, Anna!" 
Oh well, at least she was smiling at someone!

First Carnival

Last night we went to Annalise's first carnival with the Smiths. Just like at Knoebel's last month, she loved looking at all the lights and people and loved the sounds. She at first was pretty mellow but after a ride on the Merry-Go-Round she was wound up. I am discovering that she is really easy to feed at home, but if there is any distraction around (not just something major like a carnival, but any person that usually is not around) she really does not have much time for eating! I was impressed that without eating she was still in a pleasant mood and jazzed up past 9:00! That is a new record for her!

He really liked these!


Riding the train
It is funny, I can clearly remember riding this same train at this same carnival as a kid. The ride seemed to last much longer back then!
