Last Friday night there was a carnival in "town" in the Central Market parking lot off Coit and GB. Frank saw it on the way home and stopped to ask the employees what the age requirements were because he was so excited to see if Emerson could do the rides. Sure enough, she was old enough to do some rides by herself and some rides with an adult. So when Frank got home he shared the exciting news with Emerson and she was thrilled to go to the carnival. I was a bit nervous about her riding those rickety carnival rides, but my fears were eased when we arrived and things looked pretty safe. :) Emerson couldn't wait to get into the rides and poor Cameron wanted to as well. But poor little guy was not quite tall enough for most of the rides. Emerson and Frank rode 4 rides with Emerson... the spinning ride, a roller coaster, the bumper cars and the giant slide. This was her first carnival and first time to ride any of those rides and she had the most amazing time. The absolute joy on her face was priceless and it really makes me excited to take both Emerson and Cameron to Disney World in the future... when it makes more sense. :)
We also decided to go ahead and give Emerson the bike we wanted to give her for her birthday. It isn't that far in advance and this was she can be enjoying it all summer. :) We went to Academy to pick it out and let her try out a couple of bikes. She definitely knew which one she wanted! She was so thrilled to get a bike! We even got a little bell that I have attached so she can ring it as she rides. She had so much fun riding it along the street with Frank close behind. He was so excited also and got his bike out to join her going up and down the street. It is going to be fun watching her ride and us riding with her. We will be working with Cam so he can get really good with riding his tricycle too!
