Taken for a ride

Both Alex and Olivia loved the rides at carnival night for the 110th Annual Ladner Pioneer May Days celebrations. It was a bit difficult taking the two of them by myself. There were height restrictions for all of the rides and some rides only took two at a time, so we missed some of the appropriate ones, but that was ok, the kids went on enough rides to satisfy them. The first night of the May Days celebrations kicks off with carnival operators offering $1 and $2 rides where they are normally $4: so Friday night is the best time to go.
The only other thing that Alex really wanted was fairy floss, or "cotton candy" as they call it here. There is something about the way fairy floss dissolves on your tongue that is capable of recapturing a snap-shot of our own childhood in a single tingly moment, enabling us to momentarily ignore the screaming "cavity alert" siren going psycho in our head.
