Good Old Fashioned Fun

Remember these?

 

There is a park not far from our house that still has one!
It's kind of hidden away - and hopefully stays forgotten by the

"we know what's good for you" bureaucracy

that has taken these out of most parks!

 

I love these things!  So many memories from my childhood going

round and round and round - faster and faster!

I especially love laying in the middle and looking up at the sky

as I spin round and round and round!

 

We took my 3 year old grandson to visit this park!

He loved the merry go round!.

And he loved laying in the middle on top of me

as Hubby spun us faster and faster,

both of us looking up at the trees.

I felt like I was in a kaleidoscope.

It was awesome!

 

Hubby didn't like laying in the middle

and begged for mercy!

But the thing wouldn't stop!

(I couldn't help myself - I was laughing too hard)

It was even funnier when he got off!

 

I wonder if that's why there aren't many of these left?
They are too damaging to male pride!

 

 

 



What was I thinking?

What in the world made me think I could balance walk a skinny log to avoid the muddy water that covered part of my path this morning.  Even before I had Parkinson's, I couldn't balance walk across skinny logs!  Oh well - getting my shoes wet and muddy didn't hurt me all that much - except my pride!!!
