p.s. Yesterday Colie, Melinda and I all got glitter toes with bright colors in celebration of summer. Woo hoo!

So, we went up to Ogden the other night for the 24th of July fireworks. I don't know why, but WSU does them earlier than the 24th. Yay Utah and it's celebrating of unusual holidays. Ha ha.
Carly was adorable and kept peering in at the bunnies at my Uncle's house. The best was when you asked "what does a bunny say?" and she would answer promptly, "hop, hop".
The fireworks were pretty cool, but the canons were ridiculously loud and earsplitting. It started to sprinkle a little before the show but it cleared up quickly and stayed warm...
Savannah was showing us how Carly can count, (you can't really see the video because they were standing under a tree in the dark to hide from the rain, but you can hear it) and Logan showed up with an umbrella, which I guess is what comes after 9 when you're counting now :) "9..'brella!....'brella..."

"the fair is a veritable smorgasborg..."
updates, updates!
So, I'm supposed to blog about the carnival on the joint blog, seeing as how nothing ever gets blogged there anymore... but, well, I'm doing it on here instead so I can combine it with the fireworks post. Sorry other blog.
Melinda called me up the other day to go to the carnival in AF. It was dark outside and about 95 degrees, which means it was lovely.
Logan and I got there just in time to meet up with Melinda and Rebecca in line for "The Orbiter", which is surprisingly similar to "The Tornado" we went on that I blogged about a few weeks ago. Anyway. Logan is not much of a carnival ride person- they make him sick. He was opting to stand to the side and take pictures, when Melinda psyched him into going so I wouldn't be riding solo in my little seat. Before it started he was doing some deep calming breathing which was making us laugh, and about halfway through (as I was suffering from whiplash) his breathing turned into moaning. That was his only ride of the night other than the Ferris Wheel. It was a queasy time for us. Maybe not Rebecca, but she's tough. Actually, I was semi-okay on that first one, but then I spotted the Gravitron! Except it was called something different. Whatever it was, I love that ride. We waited in line and Melinda, Rebecca and I climbed in to get twirled and plastered to the wall. Ugh. Yeah, I was feelin' it walkin' out of that one. I was just debating on how to make myself feel better when I saw it... The carnival ride of all carnival rides. I'd never seen such a thing. It was glorious! Round and round and upside down it spun.

Must....try....
This time it was Melinda taking the deep calming breaths before the ride. We both actually stopped watching it before we went on cause it was dizzying. But oh man, once we got on...It was amazing. Fog rose up from the ground as we lifted up, and we were off! It was the best carnival ride ever...just like I knew it would be at first sight. Amazingly, this one didn't make you sick at all- Or maybe the exhilaration was enough to make you not realize it.
Yay summer. :)
