Wright Patt Carnival

A few weeks back we had seen signed advertising the Wright Patt Carnival.  It's not sponsored by Wright Patt AFB - that's just the location of the carnival.  The kids loved riding rides at the fair last summer, so we thought it would be a fun treat to take them to the carnival.  The idea was good in theory, but we will not be going back in the future.  There wasn't anything "wrong" with it - it was just small with only a few rides for the kids.  And the rides seemed (to us) to be...boring.  Even so, the kids really enjoyed themselves and had a good time, so it wasn't a complete bust.


This first ride was one of those spin 'n twirl ones.  Drew and I both rode it with the kids...and we both felt a little queasy afterward.  Funny how that doesn't affect you as much when you're a kid!


They both love the merry-go-round!  They went on that one a few times.

Octopus ride - one of the ones that seemed to be very BORING.  It just went around in circles as opposed to going up and down as well as around, but, like I said, they seemed to enjoy it anyway.

This was a fun one, and of course the fact that it was a fire truck made it even better for Grant.

By far Jenna's favorite ride - the swings!  Grant wasn't tall enough yet to ride this ride, which I'm fine with.  I was nervous just having Jenna on it with how high you go.  Or at least how high it appears you go from my viewpoint on the ground.
Overall it was a fun time, but I think from now on we'll save our carnival rides for the Miami County Fair in August.
