Carnival

In early November we went to 'Carnival'. Carnival is a fun day put on every year for the community by the high school students at the international school here—games, food and fun and 1/2 the profit they give to a PNG charity.


Thad enjoyed playing in the bounce house,
trying Coke,

and going for his first horse ride!

Thea spent her time smiling.
I tried to convince Thad to try cotton candy, but he thought it was 'too funky'!
Thea found a new friend just about her size!

By far, Thad's favorite thing was the Ferris Wheel!!

The ferris wheel, which is really more of a square, is a four seated ride that is propelled by the arm muscles of the high school boys.

Thad recognized the ride right away (he has pictures of Ferris Wheels in a couple of books) and kept saying 'ferris wheel'. We weren't sure if he really wanted to ride, or just thought it looked like fun to watch. We decided to have him try it out with Jamie and just see what he thought. As you can see, he thought it was super fun, and was all smiles the whole time.
