I fully intended to write yesterday, even if it was just a short post. However, I didn't (obviously). We went to a small(er) town close by for their logging rodeo. It was pretty fun. We went with some friends of ours, they have 4 small kids, so we waited at their house for a while for them to get rounded up. We ended up missing the chainsaw carving event, which I was really looking forward to. We did make it to the actual logging show. Chris really enjoyed it, but I thought it got a little long and boring.
After the logging show we made our way to the carnival. When did carnivals get so expensive? $30 for 10 tickets . . . you can get a unlimited pass for $25, although, only one person can use an unlimited pass, but still. We ended up not doing any rides. I get sick on rides now, I didn't use to, but I guess somewhere along the way I got old. We ate and stood wandered around a lot. Finally we saw a park that was right behind the carnival, so we took Maddox over there and let him play on the swings and the slide. (Completely free carnival for Maddox, what a novel idea!) Damian took a friend with him and we let them wander around the carnival on their own. Sadly, we didn't have a lot of money to give him, so he only got to ride one or two rides, but he said he had a good day.

We ended up going to the Mt. Vernon fireworks show. We heard it was better than the other town's, but it seemed so short to me. I don't know if Maddox enjoyed it or not. When the fireworks started, he made a couple sounds that sounded a little like crying, but when I looked at him he had a smile. After a few "booms" he definitely whimpered a little, but then he would clap his hands. Whatever he thought of it, he was glued to the sky. :-)
I hope everyone else had a safe and fun 4th of July!
