Carnival!

The O-Town carnival rolled into town last night.  Here is a photo play-by-play of our night...

Here are the three stooges on the pirate boat swing.  HP was about 1/2 inch shy of the height requirement for this ride.  So when the Carny came around Starchy showed her how to stand on her tip-toes so she met the 42" line.  It worked like a charm.  We fooled every single ride operator there (not such a hard feat I'd say).  AND we taught our daughter to be deceitful to boot!  Parents of the Year! ;)

The kids on one of the more tame rides.
This is the speed at which The Dude ran the entire time at the carnival.  Fast.

I've said it once and I'll say it again...isn't she lovely?
HP coming down the "fun house" slide.
Starchy in a moment of contemplation.  MEOW!  He is so cute.  

Getting tired.  This pic was taken about 15 minutes before leaving.

Navigating the fun house.  HP had is down pat.  She got on her hands and knee's and zipped right under the bungee cords.  The Dude on the other hand, went over the top.  Luckily he was able to catch up to her and make up for lost time by running through the rest of the house.

See...

Another ride in which we fudged HP's height.  They LOVED this one!

HP and I.  We were waiting for Starchy and The Dude who were on a ride that HP was CLEARLY not tall enough for.  

But the boys sure had fun on it! :)

Starchy giving The Dude a pep talk.  He was a little nervous on this one.

Going on the giant Ferris wheel!

For every ride she went on, HP made a beeline towards whatever she could find that was pink.  Like she had to coordinate with her outfit or something.

Grinning from ear-to-ear after her 11th time (I'm not kidding) down the giant slide.
