Every year in our town the main street area has a festival called Rooster Days. They have rides, petting zoo, parade, fun, games, etc. We took the girls last year and they loved it so we thought we would go again this year. This year Katie was actually tall enough to ride her rides by herself, so she thought she was such a big girl being able to go the rides without mommy or daddy. Well, one ride is a slide and you have to climb about 12 flights of stairs to get to the top of the slide and then you go down. Last year she loved this ride and between Chris and I we rode it with her many times. This year she wanted to go up on her own. I was terrified to let her do it, but daddy said she would be okay and Katie was so determined to do it on her own. I let her go and up she sent went to the top without any hesitation. She also came down without any problems. I was afraid she would get to the top and see how far down it was and wouldn't slide down but she proved me wrong. When she came down she had the biggest smile on her face and was so proud that she just did that. We were proud of her also. This year she was finally big enough to ride the kids roller coaster, so on she went and at first she had a smile on her face but by the second time around on the ride she was covering her eyes. She didn't like the one part of the ride were it tilted you a little , she said she felt like she was going to fall out. Bree was still our conservative rider but sticking with her few rides the carousel and the cho cho train. She was content with those two rides and wanted nothing else to do with the others. She thought she would ride some cars with Katie but changed her mind once we put her on them. The girls had fun and so did we. Here are a few pics from the day.
