Carnival Ride Junky...

No not me, no, not Nick...Deven. This kid can't get enough of the carnival, fair, rodeo scene. I'm not just talking the mari-go round. Deven loves rides that go fast, high, twisty and he will let you know if it isn't good enough. He loves bull riding and calf roping. Deven LOVES ice cones and mini fried donuts!

We just had a visit to Walla Walla for the fair/rodeo. Deven liked it last year but this year he really knew what was going on. There were a few mini fairs here in the Snohomish, Lake Stevens area earlier this summer so he was well practised and fully prepared for the mother load of fairs.

Along with his besties Hadley and Jameson, Deven had the chance to ride ponys, sit with and pet baby calfs, pet and talk with the beautiful horses competing at the fair, stay up late to watch his first bull riding competition, sit in a fire truck while being presented with his very own fire helmet and try his first fresh squeezed lemonade. Needless to say he has not stopped telling me that he is both a cow boy and a fireman now.

To top Deven's first real Walla Walla fair experience off he was able to 'ride' on a bungy jumping apparatus thingy...I would not have gone on this if I'd had the option (no rides for preggos). It is hard to see it but look closely at these videos and you will see the smile plastered on Deven's face. I will post more pics of our week at the Block's in the following blog.
