If you ask me why I love carnivals then I must ask you to close your eyes and walk the dusty paths of a carnival. Listen...listen to the dings of the bells, the roar and whirr of the ride motors, the barkers hollering for you to come to their booths, the squelas of the kids on the roller coaster or tilt-a-whirl. With your eyes closed smell the cotton candy, the hot dogs, the elephant ears dusted with powdered sugar.
Watch the sun set and magically bring the lights on the rides to life. When I'm at the carnival, either minor or elaborate a sense of joy floods over me.
Love this!
