After E woke up we were about to head to the carnival, when Rick got home with some fish he was ready to "clean" (skin/gut/filet/etc). Well when my mom told me Noah was watching I was worried about him being horrified and disturbed. HA! He was totally into it! Me, not so much! So the carnival had to wait. The highlight came when Rick found a baby fish in one of the fish's stomach that he had eaten for lunch and had not digested yet. GAG! And my mom isn't fazed. Her response to my disgust was "it's free dinner!"
We had a good time at the carnival, but I didn't bring the camera. I got one pic on my cell phone of the boys together on a ride. E alternated from blank stares to crying on the one ride he went on, so we decided not to waste anymore over priced tickets on rides for him. Noah, Charlie & Jason's (Sarah's boyfriend) three boys Cole, Elijah & Luke all had fun on the rides. Charlie & Cole are DAREDEVILS! Noah's fave was the fast slide that literally sends you a bit airborne.
Once Elliot discovered funnel cake and the tent with the talent show/music/etc he had a blast! He was dancing and knocking over chairs and sucking sugar off funnel cake to his heart's content. He made friends with the Little Miss Belton baby who was the same age as him. We decided we should have entered him so they could have been in the court together. haha! There is NO doubt he would have won. Clearly!
After that, we went to Sarah's house and enjoyed grilling out and the company of family and friends until the fireworks went off. We were able to watch them from the field behind Sarah's house. Paul & E headed back early as E was tired, but Noah and I waited it out and Noah passed out on the way home at 10:40. What a fun day!
Noah is already looking forward to next year and says he wants to take Hudson & Addison next time.
Ready for the parade!
The politicians were out and targeting kids like a sugary cereal at the grocery store. Noah doesn't care what they stand for. He likes stickers and supported them all.
One of Elliot's new things is begging from complete strangers. He gets right in their personal space and stares at them all cute and pitiful until he gets A) food or B) toys (when we are at the pool). It always works. And he has no shame. He will go back for seconds, even thirds if I allow him. It's so funny! He bummed a tootsie roll & twizzlers from this lady.
Watching the parade together
This was his first sucker ever!
The once a year treat of cotton candy. And yes, he remembered that he loved it from a year ago, but at first was bewildered on how to go about eating it.
Funnel cake. Yum!
