Kono's First Carnival Experience

Since today was kid day at Tuba City fair, I decided to take Kono to the little carnival. As soon as I paid for parking, (they'll do anything to make money here) I regretted doing so because it was extremely windy and when the dirt/sand blows in TC, it surely blows!!! I think this town should be called Dust Bowl, not Tuba City, it's not even a city for crying out loud! Anyway, it's a good thing we had our shades on, I was told by a couple of booth men/women that I was a smart and responsible parent for making sure he had something to protect his eyes and always making sure he was securely fastened to the rides he was on. I felt so silly (childish) riding a little train with Kono, but got over it right away. We also rode a gigantic slide together, and that was so much fun. I use to really enjoy carnivals/fairs and especially amusement parks growing up. As a matter of fact, I was obsessed with them. I would ride the scariest roller coasters and rides available. I never did make it to Six Flags in my teenage years and now, you'd have to probably drag me on or even pay me to get on rides, I am more about the food now a days. My favorites ~ those huge turkey legs, plump corn dogs, caramel apples, funnel cakes, nachos, and freshly squeezed lemonade. I settled for just the lemonade today after thinking about all the thousands of extra calories I didn't need to ingest, and besides it was too expensive for my budget. It was so nice to come home and get cleaned up, we had dirt in our ears, nose, eyes, mouth, hair and clothes!


Kono riding a brown horse on the merry-go-round, this is the best picture I could take since I was standing right next to him.
Kono riding a monster truck, this is the first ride he did alone (without me), it was sad to let him out from under my wings.
Kono liked riding this one but I didn't like watching, it just went round and around in small circles.
Kono also loved riding this dragon that went pretty high up. He's pretty brave.
