2012 Summerfest Carnival

Summerfest (our city's annual celebration) is one of our family's favorite traditions.  We spent way too much money at the carnival (as usual), but we figure it's an investment in memory.  Highlights included a maiden voyage on the Gravitron for Preston and me (bleh), and lots of greasy food and shaved ice.

Ashton riding the cars

Ashton and Jared checking out one of the ambulances they had on display.  Let's hope this is as close as he gets to the inside of one.

Ashton on the front of what he calls 'Fire Big Truck'

All three brothers driving the fire engine.

Chandler riding the crash simulator--he crashed into Preston (see below).

Preston on the other side of the crash simulator.  The thing only simulates a 5 mph crash, but you can still really feel the impact.

Ash and Preston on the mini roller coaster.  Preston's at that very unique age where he can still ride the baby rides and is just big enough for the BIG rides.

Preston and Ashton on the boats.  That bell got really irritating after about 10 seconds.

Chandler and Dad waited patiently in the shade while Preston and I rode the ferris wheel.
