Our public library had a free carnival and the girls had a great time.  All summer long, the library has had planned activities, magicians, jugglers, movies, and oh yeah books for the kids to enjoy.  All in all I think they did a great job.  I love taking my girls to the library.  Nothing like free entertainment when you are paying more  money to drive your car then you are cooling your home.  Anyhoo…

We lucked out, because the carnival was on a day when there was actually overcast, so the hell that is the sun wan not beating down on us.   There was a petting zoo, water slide, and different game booths.  You could even get your face painted, or have someone make you a balloon animal.

Getting ready to leave for the carnival.  It is fun to have sisters.  Abby had a dentist appointment first.  Thank goodness everything was OK.  Next week a cleaning.

The girls were hot, but ready for some fun.  The two older girls had a blast with the giant water slide, and the little one and I preferred the petting zoo.  Those little animals were so stinkin cute.

Turtles and piggies, I love turtles and piggies.  I also love hippos, but oddly enough, they were not at the petting zoo.  Go figure.

We had a really great time.  Prizes were won, popsicles were eaten, balloon flowers were made, then they popped, then they cried, and then it was time for this tired momma to take her pretty girls home.

They ran all the way to the van.  Hey, it was happy hour time at Sonic.  Who wouldn’t run?
