Riding to the Sky

When you asked if I wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, my whole face lit up! We stepped right into a red metal basket, and as the giant wheel turned, the ground began to drift away. I pressed both hands against the cool curved safety bar and peeked through the railing. Down below, the carnival tents and pathways shrunk into tiny colorful building blocks, and the game booths looked just like my toy setup at home! Floating all the way at the top in the evening lights was the highest I have ever been.
