Summer Wish Granted

 
Thanks to my very best friend, my craving for a good ole' fashioned carnival was quenched. And we didn't even have to leave the city of Chicago! A small school was putting on a fundraiser for families and children, so naturally, we attended. I am sad to report there was no Ferris wheel or Zipper, but the blinking lights, the sugary funnel cakes, and the overstuffed prizes were just what I needed. And I kind of loved the ATM that spit out tickets instead of money. The whole evening was charming and magical, and just the kind of night I needed now that summer is coming to an end. Thank you, Lauren!

Mmm... so what's next? Apple picking, haunted houses, and harvest festivals. Oh my!

Looks like you had tons of fun! I got my carnival fix over the 4th of July weekend. Can't go through a summer without indulging on fried foods, spinning rides, and overstuffed animals :)
