Carnival Birthday Party

Our friend Kate had a joint birthday party for her two boys Mikey & Ben.  Apparently she goes all out every other year and throws a big bash.  This year was awesome.  She threw a carnival and the kids had a blast. She rented a helicopter ride, a cotton candy machine, and a dunk tank.  Family members manned stations with fun games and the kids got tickets for prizes later in the day.  We didn't think Colton was going to get on the helicopter ride.  He was intrigued, watched it go round and round, and then when it was his turn, he turned around and left the ride area.  We figured he wasn't going to try it.  But what we found out is he only wanted the blue helicopter.  The yellow, red, and green one wasn't his style.  As soon as he went in it, it was hard to peel him away.  Each time it was his turn he made sure to run to the blue helicopter.  He loved it.
