Carnival
The annual St. Bernard's Carnival was a few weekends ago and Isaac was feeling much better, having recovered from a vicious bout of pink eye. The summer's weekends have been so packed that only now am I getting around to posting the pictures, but whoa, these are some cool pics.
The Chopper was his favorite ride, by a long shot. I lost count on ride 11 and that was easily only halfway there. His technique was impressive though as you can see from the picture. He had a distinct lean in during tight turns (all of the turns were tight, the thing went around in a circle). You can also see his perfect 10 and 2 hand positioning. This is a serious kid and he has serious fun, much like his mother.
Here he is on his next favorite ride, the cars, which also go around in a circle. He would have the perfect 10 and 2 hand positioning, but the steering wheel is a little mushed, so we get 9 and 3. Still, lots of serious fun.
The final ride we did more than once was a big ride, one that I-man couldn't go on himself. Dad was a little worried that I-man might not like it as it is a very big ride. Here is the view from the top of the ride:
Despite the heights, Isaac wanted to go on the ride again and again and so we piled on to the Ferris Wheel at least three times. Here is a shot of Dad and Isaac on the ride:
Not even a hint of fear in those little eyes. He is a pretty brave and curious little guy and the carnival was a lot of fun, especially now that Isaac can ride almost every ride. Those that he couldn't ride, well let's just say I don't have that much faith in people that can't keep track of their teeth, let alone the nuts and bolts for a ride that flings you 50 feet into the air.
