they had some old fashioned carnival rides for the kids. they were 25 cents a ride. the girls loved being in charge of their tickets. 
here's our little sweetie on the boat ride.
and our other sweetie on the cars. this fire truck had a bell you could ring! what could be better?
after, we got ice cream and then went to another beach to let the kids play in the water and sandy rocks. not a sandy, california style beach, but still fun. the girls collected a pile of beautiful rocks and were deeply, deeply saddened when i put the kabosh on bringing the rocks home. somehow, after agreeing to 2 special rocks, afton managed to fill her pockets. so, tonite she and ella washed the rocks from today and the remainder of her rock collection (in the bathroom sink, no less), and are planning to open a store in afton's bedroom to sell the rocks. they are making designs on them and setting up a display with signs. i was privileged to see the "rock of the day", which will be given free of charge tomorrow. the other rocks may cost upwards of $7.00. these are pieces of art, let me remind you. i'm sure afton will be taking orders via phone, internet, and at the "store". so, don't miss out on this special and rare collection. but, that's not all...you'll also receive a set of ginsu knives.

Those must be some fun rocks. Maybe they can set up a booth at the movie tonight? That was so fun yesterday!
The rock sale is hilarious because I did the same thing when I was little. I taped them all to a ginormous chalkboard we had but mine were much cheaper. My kind babysitter was pretty much my only customer. Good luck to your little entrepenuer!
Hope your swelling goes down...
Dear Afton,
Taylor is also an avid rock collector. If you have anything with black and pink, she'd love to buy it. Name your price.

Amy,
I was looking at this and Tyler came over my shoulder and said, "Who's blog is this? That's the town where I used to go catch those huge fish!!" You didn't happen to do any of THAT while you were at the carnival, did you?? Looks like a blast. The girls are looking sooo old! Wow!
