Ferris Wheel Wonder

Barnstable County Fair  My daughter had the pleasure of experiencing the Barnstable County Fair this past summer for the first time! She had a great time enduring lots of rides as I did as well. Spinning on Hippo rides, hopping on her first junior Rollercoaster and of course riding the Ferris Wheel for the first time. She was scared, well, maybe not scared but a bit apprehensive. She is my wild child but can be cautious as well.   As we slowly crept up into the skies of East Falmouth, not buckled up, loosely in the saucer. The mother in me, and former/recovering high anxiety human I was slowly trickled back. What if she fell out? (Obviously wouldn't happen without some crazy event). Just then we looked down and I saw a flow of people all around the fairground. I told my daughter, Layla, "Look! Everyone looks so small down there!" I cringed thinking about my earlier dark thoughts as she hovered over the saucer to peer down to the crowds. "Look mama! I see Grana!"...
