Rides, Raspas, and a Free T-shirt

This past weekend Jude and I went to a great street festival. Even in the evening the humidity is almost unbearable here in TX but we managed with an icy leche raspa(snow cone). We walked around and listened to the Mexican bands playing and ofcourse Jude could not resist going on the rides. Jude has gone to a million carnivals already but there were a couple of new rides that caught Jude's attention and he insisted on trying them out. So I thought ok he's a big boy why not. And a big boy he really proved to be. Even though he got mighty scared on them he didn't cry. He simply just made it known to me as soon as he got off the ride that either he needed to grow a little bigger to go on it or it was just plain scary and he didn't want to go on it again.


Ride #1 The scary one.....
(He's excitedly waving at me with no idea what he has gotten himself into.)

......Jude smiling...



......smile gone, frown appears...



Ride #2 The one he needs to grow a little bigger for...
The Mechanical Bull


Ride #3 Tossing Pirate Ship

Jude had no problem with this one.

And every kid likes the swing ride. I don't know what else to call. It's pretty much a swing going around and around. He went on this one twice.

And we even won a free t-shirt. Jude won it actually. Just one thing or I should say person was missing. Brandon :( We miss him!

Ride #1 looks like and adults only ride. Can't believe he got on it... without you! Way to get out and keep having fun, even without Senor Rodriguez... we miss you guys.

Yes Jude surprises me more and more everyday. I forget that he's not a toddler anymore. And we miss you all so much too. Sometimes out of the blue Jude will say he loves Kai. I feel for him. Can't wait till we see you guys again :)

Looking at the first ride just made me dizzy. Poor guy but he's super brave though, it didn't stop him from going to the other rides. I'm glad you're having a lot of fun. I'm sure Brandon wishes he's able to do those rides too and enjoying ice cones with you guys. Hang in there!
