We had a fair in our little town a few weeks ago.
Yes. it was the kind of fair that you see being set up in store parking lots and think to yourself, "You couldn't pay me to go on those rides. Those people just threw those rides up, it can't be safe."
Yep, that kind of fair.
I guess something about the grassy field with scenic views that it was set up in made me feel like it was safer (or not...I have to admit "how safe are these rides" was a repeated thought).
Yet, we did it.
Germans are no joke about their rides too. They made sure you got your moneys worth, the rides lasted about 5 min. each. I saw one kid on a scrambler type of ride crying to get off (fyi...they didn't stop the ride to let him off). They make these things go suuuuper fast too.
Asher was set on going on the swings, so Dudi and I went on with him. They were always one of my favorites when I was little too.
After that peaceful ride, Micah and Asher and the neighbor kids talked "the moms" into going on a ride with them. The kind of ride that is similar to the "Tower of Terror." Up and down and up and down. Uuuugghh!
I have to admit now that I've had time to recover, it was fun. The kids were having a blast laughing, while the moms would scream every time it dropped.

You made me laugh with how hilariously you wrote about it! I totally understood from your description that it was, "that kind of fair."
That's neat that they give you your money's worth...but I do kinda feel for the screaming kid that they wouldn't let off the ride...admit it...was it Dudi? ;)
