We also love Grandma for taking Ellie and Reid on the Ferris Wheel....because Brian and I are too chicken to attempt it. Not height fanatics here.
Ellie stepping up to the plate this year and trying out the slide on her own. I think Brian is probably bannned from it. He took Ellie down and with his size, he got some major momentum going. I think he took out a whole lineup of kids waiting at the bottom of the slide for their turn! We were grateful that Ellie wanted to go on her own this year!
There she is on the yellow slide at the top. She LOVED it. And we loved watching her belly laugh the whole way down.
Ellie met up with a little girl from preschool and rode some rides together. As I said, in a small town, we all know each other.
Ellie and Reid on the helicopters. Reid loved watching his big sister!
More my speed.....the carousel.
Reid was just checking it all out.
The carousel was also more Brian's speed, I guess!
Nothing better than small town America in the summer. Now....off to pick some blackberries for jam!

Carousel.. more my speed too. You would never get me to the top of the ferris wheel or the slide! I wish more then anything that we could move to a small town (preferrably Ohio near my grandparents and other extended family) so my kiddos could experience that "know everyones' name" feel of a town. The security of Dale's job is what keeps us here for now. Someday, maybe.
I am more of a carousel girl myself. Heights and high-speeds are not my idea of a good time. And reading about your small town made me sigh... I WISH we could move to a small town. For now, it remains a future goal...
