This weekend is Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer. Woo-hoo!
As a kid, one summer activity I fondly recall involved checking out the animals and going on rides at nearby county fairs. Did you do that too or were you more of a Six Flags or Valleyfair type of kid?
For this week's question, imagine you're at an amusement park. What ride do you go on first? Bonus question - Has your answer changed over the years?
One of the most fun things I remember about summers as a kid, was visiting our Grandparents in Galesburg, Illinois, home to Kiddieland, an amusement park. It was only a few blocks from our grandparents house and they had huge search lights going at night that we could see. We would always get to visit once during our trip and we would bug our parents to take us constantly. Rides were 10 cents each- my favorite ride was the Flying Swings. I went on that ride once with my Aunt MA and her shoes flew off.
As a kid the roller coaster then maybe that big octopus thingy. Nowadays I just want to look at the fish the animals eat a couple of corn dogs and head home.
