Carnival time

Every year the volunteer Fire Company has their Carnival.  We use to go to Carnivals when the kids were young.  If you go, be sure to go there hungry and with pockets of money from the money tree, never did find that.  When you go in, the first thing they have in your way are the games.  So whatever your kids win has to be carried all night, and not by the person who won it.  All that means is I don't get to go on any rides because I am babysitting fish and stuffed animals.  We didn't have backpacks back in those days.  Stacy was our wood splitter and she would go to the game that you had to hit the bell.  Of course when they saw her they knew she would never hit the bell.  She hit it every time.  So then they let her stay and she became part of the game.  Try to beat the girl.  It was fun to watch.  Good thing she didn't want to run away and join the carnival like most kids!  They would have let her.  Now that all the kids are gone we rarely attend the carnivals.  Maybe if there is one around when Mckenzie is here we can find one.  I want Stacy to have the same enjoyment as we did.  I know she'll drag me along just to carry all the prizes....
