New Year's Day we went to one of those portable carnivals that they had set up close to our house. The prices were outrageous ($5 to ride one ride) so Kaiden and I both got a wristband where we could ride as many rides as we wanted. This place was not quite the cleanest place but Kaiden had a blast! Let's just say that the crowd had some character, especially the workers. He rode his first roller coaster and was such a brave boy. He loved every minute of it. He even rode a big ride with mom that was the tilt a whirl. This thing spins you around and around as you go in a circle. When we were getting on the ride the operator said "you can try but I think he is going to cry." I was like are you kidding me this kid is not going to cry. Sure enough he did the exact opposite of crying, he was yelling in excitement. We rode it 3 times! His favorite ride was the bug roller coaster which we rode like 5 times. I was able to even ride some of the big rides by myself which was a lot of fun, but kind of lonely without Nick. The worker asked if we wanted him to watch the boys so we could both ride. Yeah right, here let me leave you with my purse, camera, oh and my most precious value...my kids. Whatever! Kaiden rode every ride he could at least once, some 3 or 4 times. You had to be 36 inches tall and lucky Kaiden is 37 inches with shoes...whoo hoo!

Riding the teacups. He was a pro and knew exactly what to do without us having to tell him to turn the wheel. He was the only one riding this ride...he looked a little lonely. :(

He only rode this once. It goes up and down and I am not sure if he liked it because he never wanted to ride again but he was laughing the whole time so who knows.

First Ferris Wheel ride. This was not very safe. No buckles, just a little gate that would definitely not hold us in.
