So, you know that nearby church yard we often play in? Well, once a year they have this huge festival with rides and the whole bit, called St. Merry Fest. Guess who was old enough to take part in the festivities this year? That's right, Holden! She was oh so excited to see the trucks roll in, and when the ferris wheel went up she declared that was the ride she was going to go on first! She ended up waiting rather patiently (if you don't count the million times she asked "are we going today?") to go on the last day of the festival. Surprising both of us, she wanted to ride not only the ferris wheel, but the roller coaster too! She wasn't afraid in the least. There I was clutching the seat bar with one hand and hanging on to her with my other, lest she tumble from the cart as we rounded each corner, and she just shrieked with joy. Well, next time Daddy can ride with her. My heart can't take it. :)
Needless to say, I did not get any photos of us on the roller coaster. I did, however, get a good one of her happily riding this yellow car named William. She steered it around every corner (it was going in a circle) like a pro. I'll have to start hiding our car keys.
Look at that smile!
"Hey, I can see our house from here!"
The view from the ferris wheel was lovely, but did I mention I have a slight fear of heights? Not Holden though. Good thing I was able to talk her out of rocking our seat.
And yes, like many of our other adventures, we ended our festival outing with a treat!
Is there any other way?
