the carnival came to town

Last week there was a carnival in town. Awesome opportunity to see the differences to what it would be like at home and try yummy food.

excited about the fair and the snacks

we went with good friends of ours, these things are  always more fun in a group

 we got to eat bbq-ed corn on the cob - so good!

for toppings you had a choice of chocolate, strawberry or just sweet :-)

Alia loved it

one could also buy live hamsters - we stuck to just looking at them

but we did buy Alia her very first pet - a painted hermit crab

 it was a "Hello Kitty" one :-)

 she was the happiest girl on earth - respect to Erlend who pulled of sitting on a pink horse

for 70 cents they get to go around as looooong as they want to, Alia and her little best friend Amelia

 we were just about to go home and the skies opened, within a minute it went from dry to this

 can you spot Erlend and Alia?

 Little girl did not mind waiting for an hour - she got to play on a motorcycle
