When you think of spring does the word carnival pop into your head?

Friday night we had Alexa and Jackson's 1st trip to the carnival. We bought Abby and Nate wristbands for unlimited rides and started Alexa off with four tickets. I wasn't quite sure whether or not she was going to be down for the rides so I figured I'd play it safe with four and go back and get more if she wanted them.

 First ride of the night was the Gravitron. I was so happy I was able to talk Abby and Nate into going on. I knew they'd love it but it took a little bit of persuasion.

We eventually made our way to the little truck ride for Lexa. She was totally itching to go on. Abby took her and Maura and hopped in a little car. Alexa was in her glory, smiling almost the whole time. Even Abby was a great sport about riding with the babies. Big brother took on the job of riding the second time. This little munchkin has such amazing big siblings.

It's been awhile since we've had a really fun family outing and the carnival was a blast! Jax was pretty content hanging out in the stroller watching all excitement. Nate had fun playing the shot gun game and winning lil' sis a stuffed banana and then winning Abby the giraffe she had been trying to win all night on the water gun game. That boy is such a sweetie. One day he'll make someone an amazingly romantic hubby. Let the spring festivities commence!
