there's a tivoli in town

there's a summerfest in our town this weekend and that means a little carnival has come to town. we call that a tivoli. i don't even really think that's a danish word for it, i think it might come from italian and is used all over europe for what we call a little carnival--like with rides and booths where you can win a teddy and food that's really bad for you.

here are some scenes from our visit...

there was the coolest bouncy bungie ride thingie (that's the technical name for it)---

the eastern european dude who speaks no known language straps you in

you do a little test bounce

then higher

and higher

and then you use up all of your ride coupons doing this 4x

far got a bit green in the gills from this one.

in fact, he's having a lie down right now.

mom took about 100 pictures of this one

but we didn't go on it.

she likes colorful stuff.

then there was cotton candy.

extra large size, apparently.

it was also the girl's first time making it.

it was suitable for a game of hide 'n seek.

in all, an awesome afternoon.

and there's two more days left of the weekend

since monday's a holiday.

we love all those spring holidays.

hope you're having a fabulous weekend too!
