The Rodeo part 2

Louanne on Mar 24th 2009

After the fun on the farm we headed to the carnival area where I took Nadia on the carousel. Since we go on them all over I have to say that this one was awesome. The horse went up and down fast and the carousel itself was really moving. Nadia kept saying, “up, down, fun, up, down, fun.” It was really cute.

Then we headed over to the ‘Goliath Slide’. I am pretty much a wimp when it comes to things like these, but I knew that Nadia would like it. By the time we climbed to the top I had a sick feeling in my tummy, but I wasn’t going to show any fear! It was really fun and thanks to Jen for these great shots. Nadia kept saying the next couple days, “Slide. Go fast. I go fast. FAST!”  

Here we are all the way at the top.

    I loved the look of “No Fear” on your face! Looked like you all had a great time! Can’t wait to hear about the “pig races”!

    I am SO impressed you did that. You couldn’t pay me to do that, and I know Emi would love that too. Danger Girl would have been up those steps SO fast. Yikes, mama is such a wuss. lol Kudos to you for doing it!

    Great photos again, love the carousel. We’ve only had a chance once so far to take Emi on it (when she was 14 months old). She wasn’t too sure about it then, but the whole Danger Girl thing hadn’t kicked in as far as it is now. I hope to find some soon for her as I think she would feel exactly the way Nadia did – up down fast fun! :)

    Cheers, loving this series! Kiy

    Oh yes, ‘the face of fear’. I get that face anytime Alice tries to haul me up those sort of hellish contraptions too!! Well done you for being such a brave Mum!!

    That is hilarious…i love you faces as you are coming down the slide! I bet she loved it, you are such a good Mommy to endure for her joy! Miss K, would have hated it!
    You two look like you had so much fun! And those boots, I LOVE those boots. I can not wait to get little Kate a pair!

    I love the look on Nadia’s face! Priceless!

    I took Charlotte on the giant slide at the state fair last Aug and she loved it. Can’t wait to take her this year :)
