Dizzy in Clear Spring

The annual tradition of the Clear Spring Carnival provided plenty of fun and treats. Doug opted out of rides due to a sore hip ... but still loved the noise and seizure-inducing lights.

Crowd consisted of: Doug, RJ, Julia, Brad, Carter, Kaleb, LJ, Rocco, Nico, Ava, Gunner. Heather, Mark, Sophia, and Vivian showed up as well.

Julia managed to win this game ... and got a stuffy

We ate dinner before the event, but we still had room for funnel cakes!

Poor RJ was super dizzy by this time so he only had a bite or two. We blamed his clogged ear.

Sara spent the night running errands and testing a paint color

Gunner went through the Sponge Bob fun house about 60 times. The big boys joined in.

Julia wanted to ride all night. This was her 4th consecutive ride on the rainbow. She helped the girls next to her to not be scared 

Alas, the night had to end eventually. So around 9:50pm the crowd demanded that I get Julia so we could head home. We forgot to take a picture with an eye closed and our tongue out ... next year!
