On the Saturday after Labor Day, Zionsville had a parade through the downtown, and hosted a carnival in the park. We got there with time to spare to see Joey's first, and Melanie's second, parade. It got a little bit of a late start, so even though it was really a great parade, we decided to cut out a little early and head to the carnival.
We spent a couple of hours doing the inflatables at the carnival, and visiting the food and vendor booths, including the library's booth, where we got stickers, balloons, and, most notably, a face tattoo! We were really impressed by the setup, and thought it much better than the carnival we attended earlier in the summer. After a while, we realized we were dressed too warmly for the weather, and we all needed naps, so we headed home and everyone napped while Jeff mowed the lawn. After we woke up and ate, we went back for round two of the carnival!
Joey got on one ride, but got off before it started. Mel rode several rides, and made another trip back to the inflatables as well. When we left the carnival the first time, we promised Melanie that she could ride this train they had when we came back. Well, of course, by the time we got to it during round two, it was closed for the evening. You can bet we'll still be hearing about that tomorrow; she said on the way home, "I TOLD you I wanted to ride that train!!" Uh-oh. After taking part in most of what the carnival had to offer (while Jeff steered clear of the games....) Melanie wanted to go to the park, and since it was so crowded at the parks there, we headed home to the neighborhood park. A fun day!!
