In that great street carnival...

We went to the AIA World Carnival last Wednesday evening.

This is my observation.

In my experience, carnival rides from Europe are WAY better than any carnival rides in the US. There were three rides that were an absolute rush. Two of which had me screaming like a little girl. One of them, or maybe a combination of all three, made me want to puke.

Now that is what I call a good time.

The haunted house sucked equally as bad as any carnival haunted house back home.

The games were cool, some the same as what we have seen before and some were different. They had games of chance, for instance a number game where you spend five tokens and you receive a bag with five numbers in it and odd numbers win a toy. And they were BIG stuffed animals of all varieties.

Oh, the best part is that it only costs the equivalent to $15 USD to get in and that includes ALL RIDES AND 25 GAME TOKENS.

That is a much better deal that in the States, the last time we went to a carnival you had to buy tickets to ride the rides and one ride could cost like 10 tickets. And that didn't include games. It was a total rip off. Plus the rides sucked, too.

I have no point. Just sharing.

We are SO going back before the end of March when it closes.

That's pretty sweet. The Puyallup fair here is comparable in price, but the rides are extra and cost way too much.

It's really crazy. You've gotta be rich nowadays to be a parent, I swear.
