The midway








While I preferred the company of sheep and miniature horses, my son was enthralled by the colorful, noisy midway.

He was a bit nervous of his first ride on a ferris wheel. But after braving being chained solo into a cage and going up and around, he quickly clambered aboard motorcycles, speedboats, firetrucks and whirling spinners.

All of us, including my 80-year-old mother, enjoyed the merry-go-round, though we were in for a surprise when the low horse she had selected ended the ride in its highest position.

After winning a Spiderman frisbee and inflatable knight's sword, my son was contented to head home from the fair.
