This past weekend, an indoor carnival passed though the greater Boston area. We met up with Tiny and Buba’s twin friends G&E and their parents and had a blast watching the kids have so much fun.

First up, the elephant (aka elefunk) ride…

Then the kids rode the carousel…

…and the train…

…and the sports car…

We ended our visit with pony rides…

There were ducks, goats, and sheep to feed, as well as several exotic animals to see, including kangaroos, a zebu, camels (which you could also ride) and a zebra. The only time we had trouble with the kids was when it was time to leave. Tiny had a brief meltdown when she realized our tickets were all gone and she had not yet jumped in the bouncy house or gone down the ginormous inflated slide. But she recovered pretty quickly, and we didn’t have to be that family who rushes out the door with a screaming child (at least, not this time. we’ve been there before.).

The carnival was only in town for the weekend, but it sounds like it’s something that comes around this time every year. I’d definitely go back again. Maybe next time, we’ll try a ride on the camels too.
