So we stopped and they were let off to watch O and mom ride up and down and around and around 17 times! O keeps saying to me, "Riding on the Ferris Wheel was fun! It was my favorite part!" After which S and H say, "No! It was scary!"
This year (as happened last year), a big, black storm cloud came upon us while we were Summerfesting. This year (as we did not do last year), we stayed to use up all of our tickets. J and O went on the swings. (See that lovely black cloud in the background?)
H and S rode the merry-go-round. (The longest merry-go-round known to man.) When O got off the swings and wanted to go on the merry-go-round, S decided he'd rather not. He just wanted to stand in the freezing cold, pouring rain, and get soaking wet.
Here are my monkeys riding the boats. S is in the boat behind O and H. He only decided to do it at the last minute because the ride was covered. It was fun trying to make him smile as he went around. He was being tenaciously grumpy.
This year (as we did not do last year) we walked home in the rain. (Last year, J ran home and came back with the van). This year we splashed in puddles, sent maple "helicopter" boats down the gutter, and had a fun walk home with the kids. This year (as we did last year) we had a pizza (homemade this year, Papa Murphy's last), had hot chocolate, and watched a movie. I feel a tradition in the making. Hopefully it storms next year for the Summerfest!
