The "Ferris Wheel" Story

It was a ordinary day. We were celebrating Thanksgiving on the Saturday after so our daughter Brynn M. and her family could attend. They live in Maryland and celebrated with her husband Dave’s parents on Thanksgiving Day. Today my Granddaughter Courtney Anne M., who is 7 years old and in second grade at Centerville Elementary School in Urbana, Maryland, is my guest blogger. Her story follows: Tampah and I were going to ride the Ferris Wheel. I put on my pink sweatshirt and meanwhile Tampah put on his Cape May sweatshirt. When everyone was dressed and ready to go ride some rides we went up to the boardwalk and started to walk to Wonderland pier and soon we were there. We could see the Ferris Wheel up in the sky. The Ferris Wheel was lit up but was stopping to let people on. When we got there we went to get some tickets. We rode a couple rides and then headed toward the Ferris Wheel. It was close to the Wacky Worm. We had to wait in line to ride the Ferris Wheel. A few people got on but we didn’t get on, but we got on the second time. We got on and we started moving, then it stopped and we were stuck up at the top. We could see the whole boardwalk. We took a picture and Tampah held the camera and snapped it with out dropping the camera. The Ferris Wheel took us around two times. The Ferris Wheel was about 120 feet tall. Next I rode other rides with my family because Tampah get sick on some rides that I ride. When were all tired we headed back and on the way back we got some ice cream from Ritas. It’s awesome!!! And how about that folks! When I was in second grade it was still Dick and Jane does ....... And writing? I didn't learn that until 4th grade! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
