It’s been a while since we went to a carnival, even though one sets up in the park near us each year. Maybe more than once a year? I don’t know. Between the noise and the crowds, it seemed like a stretch for Baguette.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve learned that she does like amusement park rides. And this carnival had a number of kids-only rides.
But therein lies the rub: Would she ride without one of us? She never has before.

Turns out that’s not an issue.
Apparently the 100-degree heat wasn’t an issue, either. The lure of the carnival overcame her dislike for hot weather.
And we’re thrilled on all counts.
