Carlos' ride night

If there is one thing that Carlos loves is to go on a ride, at the fair, at Disney, Universal, Six Flags and any other place where they might have one. He loves to watch them on YouTube and he tries to recreate them with toys or any props. When kids come to the house he makes rides for them. He likes doing the Cat in the Hat. He puts a video of the Islands of Adventure ride on YouTube, makes a mess in the room and brings the kids in an office chair around the room while he narrates the things they are saying on the video.

Last week he decided to host a Ride Night. He made signs for the kids and then made and printed invitations for the neighbors. He wanted to make rides upstairs and downstairs but I did not want a bunch of kids running upstairs so I offered to help him decorate the garage. He made a Haunted Mansion ride with Halloween stuff. It worked better and the kids had a blast doing the ride and then acting it for other kids. They loved the things that had sensors and only turned on when they were in front of them. Fortunately, not all kids came at the same time so it was not too crowded. They even made a little kids ride called The Wonderful World of Monsters because the little ones were too scared of the Halloween stuff.
