You wrote it so well that it brought back the way stomach reacted on the way back down each time. It was like losing the pit of my stomach when coming down on the ferris wheel. I liked all the rides, but back then we didn`t have the roller coaster or the one where the bottom of the cage drops down and you are just held in by gravity. Don`t think I would have ridden that one if they had had it when I was young. Good post. Sure brought back lots of fun carnival memories. We used to go almost every year when I was a teen-ager. Then I took my kids when the older ones were small. By the time the younger ones got old enough to go, they stopped having the carnival here.<BR/> Did you also have the motorcycle riders. I loved watching them even though the standard we stood on would start shaking while they rode and they came almost to the very top edge where we were standing. Was a Father and daughter riding the motorcycles.Dotmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223020957303815620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1153000932675013462006-07-15T15:02:00.000-07:002006-07-15T15:02:00.000-07:00Maya...I know how u fee because I still love going...Maya...I know how u fee because I still love going to the fair toostarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250437477875291892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1152998498588053002006-07-15T14:21:00.000-07:002006-07-15T14:21:00.000-07:00thank uthank uKaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525571908541394623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1152996836833893232006-07-15T13:53:00.000-07:002006-07-15T13:53:00.000-07:00wow...I still love going to the fair and riding th...wow...I still love going to the fair and riding the giant wheel and stopping at the colourful shops and check out what the vendors have to sell...my fav past time :)Scoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899941712901078084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1152993084303166372006-07-15T12:51:00.000-07:002006-07-15T12:51:00.000-07:00Vineela....thank you.I used to love the small roll...Vineela....thank you.I used to love the small rollercoasters but the big ones still scare me.starryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250437477875291892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1152993023757660582006-07-15T12:50:00.000-07:002006-07-15T12:50:00.000-07:00Kai..thank you.Kai..thank you.starryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250437477875291892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24485094.post-1152992970255298662006-07-15T12:49:00.000-07:002006-07-15T12:49:00.000-07:00Yogi..that was cute.
