Rabbit Fest

    Last night we went to Rabbit Fest, the annual festival held in our cute little town for our third year in a row. We have looked forward to it each May that we have lived here. Last year we had a lot of fun, but there was a big cloud hanging over us because it was our last family outing before Aaron deployed a couple days later. This year we had him home with us and we don't have any deployments to worry about in the near future. In other words, we really enjoyed it!

      Of course the first thing we did was ride the rides, or should I say Connor rode the rides. We stopped by the ticket booth and got him a $20 wrist band so he could ride unlimited rides for the entire night. For the first year, he was tall enough to ride all the big rides alone. Olivia watched him from her stroller, or from daddy's arms. She was in awe of everything going on around her.

    Connor was really happy to ride a few new rides that he wasn't able to ride before. His favorite was scooter {the bumber cars}, then second was the tornado. It made me so dizzy to keep up with him on that one!

    The scariest ride that Connor got on was the pirate ship. Aaron talked him into going on it and he eventually decided to do it. He was really excited about it, until it started moving. At first he was okay, and then the butterflies must have started because the look on his face totally changed. It felt like the longest ride ever. He didn't cry, but he looked like he was about to and i was so scared he was going to throw up. Thankfully he didn't, and once the ride slowed down he had a smile on his face again. I don't think he will go on that one again anytime soon.

    After spending a little over an hour at the carnival, we got some snacks because Connor was  hungry. Little did we know that he would crash before he would even eat. He was so tired! Olivia was just getting started at this point and was ready to keep having fun. The second she heard the music start she started dancing in her stroller. When we took her out, she kept going. Everyone was watching her and she was the center of attention! She loved it too.

    We left around 9 when it got dark. I'm not sure if we will go again this weekend, or even next year because we might now be living here anymore, but we love this little festival and it never disappoints! 

XOXO,
