Our first Orem Fest!

It almost didn't happen. We've had such crazy rain the last week. At 3 p.m. today we were supposed to leave, but it was pouring rain. Then by 3:30 p.m. the clouds started to break and the sun decided to shine a little bit of light. So we headed downtown with our friends the Gardner's, for some soggy carnival fun.

(Reese loved her first carousel ride. She was having so much fun,

she started head banging with excitement and hit her head on the pole.

She was laughing and crying at the same time.)

(The first sticky goodness of cotton candy.

She couldn't figure out why it was stuck to her hands.)

(Tyler Gardner enjoying a yummy snow cone.)

(We all tried out the "BIG" slide. Tyler wasn't sure what to think.

I love the look of complete shock. He's still trying to decide...

was that fun, or terrifying? Kids are so funny.)

(Ok Iliana, don't hate me for posting this picture.

You and Gavin were so cute coming down the slide. Gavin loved it!)

(Dave and Tyler on his second ride down.)

(Now it's Reese and Mommy's turn. I think Reese was just in shock the whole time. We never got a smile, but we never got a cry either. I think if we had gone down a second time, she would have smiled the whole way. I mean so far she shows all signs that she's a Nordfelt daredevil, like her mom.)
