I Went To The Carnival Last Night….

The small carnival up the street from my house is open for the week, so I went with my family. It’s not as glamorous as the picture I chose (from Pixabay) for this post, but it was $0.50 to get in, and it’s something to do. When we first got there, we found the flea market (which wasn’t there last year), so we went to check it out. I didn’t see anything I wanted though. Meh, it happens. After the flea market, we went back outside to the actual carnival. I bought a soda for a dollar to break change, so we could play the spin-the-wheel games. You put your quarters on a number and if the wheel lands on your number, you win a prize. My sister was trying to help my niece (her youngest daughter) win a prize, but they were unsuccessful. My niece wasn’t upset or anything, but we decided to take a break while waiting for our sister-in-law to get there. Welp, the guy running the booth gave my niece a Barbie doll anyways, which was really nice of him. :) I didn’t win anything, but my other niece won a strawberry cake, which we had when we got home. She won two cakes last year, but we told her to limit it to one this year haha. Once my sister-in-law got there, my niece went on rides and such with her cousins. The people who run the games were kind of irritating, as usual, except the guy who runs the fish game (you throw the balls into the empty fish bowls). He’s been there yearly and he’s always cool. He doesn’t try to get more money out of you. My two teenage nieces were working together and got a ball in, so he gave them each a fish ticket lol. I didn’t win any prizes. I told myself that any change left over would go into my NKOTB jar, but there wasn’t any left over lol. I thought about saving it, but I’ll have other opportunities to add to my jar, I just wanted to enjoy the carnival. I may be going back on Friday with my best friend and her son, but I’ll play it by ear. Other than a few minor irritations, it was a fun night. I finished my work shortly after getting home, and welp, I stayed up later than I had intended. Oh, and I did catch the last half hour of Smackdown. I missed Jeff but that’s okay, I’ll try to catch it on YouTube or Hulu, whenever I feel like it. Alrighty, I’m gonna get back to my work, and I’ll *try* to be back later for the Gratitude Challenge. I wanna see how much work I can get done before Wahlburgers comes on tonight lol. It’s not on until 10pm though, so I have a few hours. You all take care and enjoy your day. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.
