Carnival rides in honor of Mother Teresa? Sure!

This weekend we hit the carnival at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta church.  It was in honor of what would have been Mother Teresa's 100th birthday.  They are fundraising to build a new church, hence the carnival.  Anyway, we all enjoyed it- rides, handmade pierogi, cotton candy, something for everyone. 
Caroline was feeling brave and wanted to ride a big ride with Daddy.

In line with Dave

And Evy and I were strolling around a little bit, then she spotted them from afar and started pointing excitedly:

She REALLY likes her big sister, if I haven't mentioned that yet.  If 'Caroline' were easier to say, it would have been her first word.  She tries, with various consonants and vowels strung together, and it sometimes *almost* sounds like she's saying Caroline. 

Anyway, back to this very grown-up ride Caroline went on with Dave:

And she was grinning like crazy the whole time, I couldn't believe it.  Dave definitely helps her to be brave.

That was Evy's first cotton candy, and of course, she loved it.  That night, after we put her to bed, we could hear her chattering on and on on her monitor.  Most nights, she's out like a light, but I think the sugar must have had an effect!
