carnival

we had a blast at the carnival this past summer.  the big kids were old enough to go off on their own so we don't have any pictures of them, just the twins (what's new?!).  the fergusons came along and we all got sweaty and grimey together!  the fascination of the bell and the water was so sweet!

the very real motorcycles!

the always exciting roller coaster!

my favorite, the swings!

i got to go with finn! 

such joy!  and notice jake and kim behind us! 

boston's hair!

i have no idea what they were looking at but i think it's so cute!

so, our race down the fun slide started with jared giving finn a cheating head start:)

i love looking at these in succession....

next it was the big boys!  jared holding back the competition so he can win!
