Turkey Fest 2011

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
- Proverbs 17:22


Last night was the annual Turkey Festival in Tremont! Let me tell you, nothing is quite like a small-town carnival!! We were joined by many good friends and we spent the evening riding the rides, eating a few snacks and laughing...a lot. :)

They had a new ride that I have a bunch of pictures of in this post - it was called Nemesis 360°...terrifying, exhilarating and a TON of fun. It went extremely fast and went upside down several times. It was VERY popular with our group. :D

So anyway, without further ado, here are a few snapshots of our amazing evening. :)



Amusement... *grin*



Melissa got this "up high" view of the carnival grounds from the Ferris Wheel!



Big smiles were everywhere...


Emma and Hannah were having a fabulous time. :)



Abigail and Hannah try out the "Orbiter"...


I think the Boat ride freaked them out a bit. ;)



Mom and William take a spin...


Moosh took some amazing pictures while at the carnival!
(all these pictures are courtesy of her...except the self-portrait ones that I took.)



Lenna, Kasey and I right before Kasey and I went for a CRAZY ride on the Zipper!! :D



"Eyzma! Put your hands in the air!"
Lenna and I brave "Nemesis"!


We stayed upside down for a couple seconds before being dropped and spun around....


We decided it would be more epic if we stuck our legs out. :D


Coming back down...


Look closely...I'm screaming. :P


Caleb and Corey...being calm and collected. :D



The Ferris Wheel at night is beautiful. :)




Melissa and I...exhausted and messy, but we had a fabulous time. :)



After much arguing we made Sam get in the picture with us. :D


Moosh and Sierra. :D


Suzanne and Sierra! :D



I think Steven and Sam were talking about throwing up in this picture. :P


A small portion of our group!



And it was a wonderful night. :)



Ciao!

Looks like so much fun! Carnivals can be lots of fun, but there are some exceptions.:)

It is great to have friends to share such fun with. Thanks for sharing Jess, for I wondered what a Turkey Festival was.:/
