The smell of cotton candy in the air
Up here in the Northwest it has been that time of year where the smell of cotton candy and funnel cakes fill the air. Carnival season is here. In the past couple weeks we have taken the kids to the local carnival and the one just over the border in Washington. I think we are revelling in our new family freedom.
Gabriel has been hopped up on sweets. He loves carnival food. Give him blue cotton candy and an elephant ear and he's a happy boy. (No I don't let him have both on the same day) Hannah's been rocking to the live music. She loves the people watching till she hits a wall and get's way too mentally stimulated and demands to go home or at least to the bathroom to get away from it all.
Something I'm proud about is I got her on a carousel. Gabriel cheered and babbled non-stop to her while she closed her eyes and took in the breeze on her face. She didn't laugh she didn't cry she just absorbed and processed later. I got a hug and kiss when it was done though.
