Oktoberfest

 Mitchell had his hands over his face a bunch of times for added stimulation I think.

 Grace was free as a  bird on these things and would exit & say "yay I did it, let's go again" over 10x.

Mitchell is in red with his hands over face towards the rear.  He rode the Dragon 4x all by himself.

Last weekend we went to St Joe's Oktoberfest & Carnival.  We went last year & had a great time so we thought we'd try it again.  We invited our friends Sandy & Brian & their kids because we knew they liked rides and it was definitely good call.  Caroline & their daughter Peyton immediately bolted for the Gravitron then made their way around for 2 hours.  I felt as if we had 2 15 yr olds not 5 & 6 yr olds.  Steven played games like he always did which was a good fit with Cooper.  It was nice to see it wasn't only my kid who whined and complained he wasn't having fun at the carnival.  Grandpa Steele showed up so we had an extra hand with Mitchell & Grace too.  They both liked the Motorcycles and went round & round for what seemed like forever until Grace crashed in the stroller.  When Mitchell was done with the kiddie rides he conquered the Tilt-a-Whirl, Ferris Wheel, Super Slide & Dragon Coaster.  He loved the blue cotton candy & also peed in a port a potty for the first time ever.  WHAT A DAY!  Steve had to ride all the rides with Mitchell because I would just vomit, he's such a great dad.  The 2nd time they went on the Ferris Wheel Caroline joined them and was testing the limits with daddy, rocking it back and forth, looking over her shoulder so it swayed.  Steve just held his breath and they managed fine.  From the ground I just waited for Mitchell to stand up & jump out but he did awesome. He REALLY liked being up way high at the top.  I was also amazed at how well he waited in line for the rides and after the Dragon Coaster the attendant unbuckled him, he climbed out and came right to the exit.  It was a great day.  It just figures though, we find something that Mitchell loves to do and we have one other, Steven, who's not such a big fan.  Having extra help makes it manageable.  Thank you dad, Sandy & Brian!
