One of the reasons I love living in Southlake is all of the family activities and festivals the city organizes. We packed up the boys and headed to Town Square for the annual Oktoberfest. It was pretty outside, and we had noticed the bounce houses and rides as they were setting up. John Chris taught Ryland how to roll down the hill by the parking lot, and Ryland thought it was a blast. I swear we could have just rolled for hours. We really didn't have to even continue to the festival.
They had a large kid's area with bounce houses and fair type rides. Ryland jumped, bounced, and slid. He wasn't scared. The bigger the better.
Reed was a trooper. He hung out in the stroller and enjoyed people watching.
Ryland saw the spinning ride and thought it would be awesome. I stood in line with him explaining that I would not be able to ride with him, and he would have to ride with another kid. He said he was fine with that, so he buckled in with a boy who was a little older than him. The older boy understood how to spin the pod, and he got after it. Ryland was smiling and laughing.
Then his head started to drop. I noticed the smile was gone, and he was quiet. I could tell things were about to get nasty if he didn't get on the ground. We pulled him out before the funnel cake could come up.
After a little break, Ryland was ready to ride something again. John Chris and I didn't know what to expect this go around, but the swings didn't get out of hand. He loved it!
