Clinton City Days

The kids and I went to Clinton City Days with my sister, Amy, my niece, Shyley and my brother, Brian. It was terribly hot outside, but we wanted to get out and do something. I had to laugh at the little carnival rides and some of the carnival workers. They can be so odd sometimes!

They had some of those big blow up toys, like a bounce house and one where both people stand on a platform and try to knock each other off with the big pad thing(not the best description, I can't think of what it's called). Brian and I decided to try our hands and beating each other. The thing was burning hot, and it was so hard just to get up and balance on that platform while holding the pad to hit him down with. We both hit each other off a couple times and then my feet couldn't take the heat anymore so I ran off it. It was fun!

We played a few games and the kids won some prizes, I think that may have been the highlight of the whole experience for them!

Shyley got her face painted and Brynlee seemed to want to get hers done until it was her turn. She was a little unsure of the lady doing the painting, so we just had a little flower painted on her arm. It turned out cute and she loved it!

Shyley got dragonflies painted on her face.

Cute girls showing off their paintings!

Uncle Brian decided he didn't want to be left out, so he got the spider man painting.

There was a little boat ride we were going to let Brynlee and Gracen ride on, but they were both too afraid to get in the boats. Brynlee's always been afraid of rides and I think her fear is rubbing off on Gracen. He decided it was much more fun to splash the water!
