First Ferris Wheel

In the parking lot of Bashas, just across the main road from our neighborhood, a traveling carnival set up shop.  You can imagine the excitement the ferris wheel, other rides, and booths engendered in the kids as they drove by.  We were not the only family from the neighborhood to show up and pay exorbitant fees to play the carni games and go on the rickety rides.  And we had fun doing it.
