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
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!

I remember riding these as a kid and even a young adult, and of course the older I got, the faster I wanted to go around. I don't know how many times I got tossed off, or staggered around dizzy until I fell down, but it was just part of growing up back then. Gone is all that great playground equipment, merry go rounds, monkey bars, jungle gyms, and now even the slides are slowly disappearing. No wonder the kids of today are stuck with video games.
ReplyDeleteGlad you and your grandson and husband had a great time playing on it.
