A Labor of Love

I actually was pretty happy with the fact that I have never been on a ferris wheel. I am somewhat uncomfortable with heights and I get dizzy on roller coasters so I have never been remotely interested in taking a ride. We took the kids to the Ferndale Street Fair because I had read somewhere that they were offering pony rides and thought that would be a fun outing for my boys. It ended up being a grooming stall only so the kids didn't really get to do much besides have a little ice cream. As we were leaving, we passed by the ferris wheel which I knew my son had seen when we first arrived. I had felt bad during that first moment that it wasn't a fair with actual rides and games.

I tried to pass by and head to the car but he pulled me back and insisted that we get in line. My husband doesn't like rides either and I knew there was no way out of this one. I got in line and luckily the woman behind me gave me pointers on what not to do while on the ride after she said "can you believe the things we do for our kids?" Her son has special needs too so that was the fun part about being in line but once it was our turn to get on the ride, I was very nervous.

I think we went around 12 or 14 times and I just kept counting down until it was all over but my little man loved it and that's all that matters! I made it through and will make a note to bring someone who likes rides along with us the next time we go out on the town.
