Disciplined on Carnival Day2

The flashing lights and the carnival barkers were exciting, and the fireworks on the last night along with the drawing of the grand prize raffle ticket were not to be missed. And so, as we travel back in time together we reach the warm summertime and the last day of the carnival.  Plans had been made that after dinner we would pick up my grandparents and we’d all go to the carnival grounds for the evening, staying the whole way through the fireworks. Although I had been taken to the carnival nearly every night for a week, the last night was always special. I was on pins and needles, barely able to contain my excitement. My parents were unusually free with money for rides and games since they knew that the fire company benefited from the carnival, so I was looking forward to yet another visit to the carnival, and Grandma and Grandpa could be counted on for even more rides, games and food!
