Summer's Here

Nothing says summer's here like a carnival. Tonight was the last night for our carnival. Goody Two Shoes 'n me went down around closing time to take a few photos without too much of a crowd around. When I was young...much younger I'd ridden that Ferris wheel all night. Today I stand back and wave up at everyone as they go by.
