Ah,
Summerfest, how we do love you. Non-stop fat and sugar consumption, nausea-inducing rides, and capping the whole weekend off with a ridiculously late (and even more sugar-filled) evening of parade watching and fireworks oohing and aahing. All within a block of our house. The perfect summer kickoff.
 |
| The starter ride - a stunning success |
 |
| The starter snack - a "tornado fry." Also successful, although Sasha preferred the scones |
 |
| The Fun Slide was especially fast this year making it... um... especially fun. Apt naming, if not the most creative. |
 |
| Ok, maybe not everybody enjoyed every ride. |
 |
| But the girls enjoyed their motorcycle ride! |
 |
| We weren't sure how WanYing would do on the rides, but she loved it all! |
 |
| Going up! |
 |
| Hey, I can see my house from here! |
 |
| A fantastic view with two fantastic boys |
 |
| The Gravitron - before. |
 |
| The Gravitron - entrance. Yes, Sasha insisted on going. We figured, what's the worst that could happen? Puke washes out! |
 |
| The Gravitron - After. Yep, she loved it! Daddy, not so much. |
 |
| The Gravitron Survivors. All Sasha would say was, "more rides! more rides!" |
 |
| Fools that we are, we chased The Gravitron with a Tilt-a-Whirl ride. Everybody kept their cookies in place, but I think this is the last year we'll all fit in one car! I kind of didn't think about the part where more people = more weight = more spinning. Ugh. And after we got off, what did Sasha chant? "More rides! More rides!" |
A thoroughly enjoyable Friday at the Orem Summerfest!
