Hartland Carnival and Outdoor Play

Hartland had a small carnival next to Target last weekend and we decided to take Emmett. He is too young for most of the rides, but he did get to ride the carousel and play a game where he picked a duck to "win" a prize. Really he picked from ducks that were all marked as winners and then we paid for his prize.

He rode the carousel twice and cried when he had to get off. He was a big fan of it this time.

Picking his duck to win a prize. When he picked the duck, the lady running the game practically screamed that he was winner and it scared him. He had a meltdown and pouted about it for probably 10 minutes.

Back at home with the giant monkey he won.

Here are some random pictures from outdoor play over the last week. He has a new found LOVE for the slide. We go down it a bajillion times when we play outside now. 

He also still loves covering himself in sand...

He recently learned to to climb the stairs to his slide all by himself.

 He got mad when Daddy helped him.

He refused to put down his bubble wands, so he set them on the platform so he could use both hands to climb up.

 And then he sent them down the slide one at a time...

Now it's his turn to go down the slide!

And then he lounged at the bottom with all of his bubble wands. :)
