Sitting On Top Of The World

This past week there was a little carnival in the mall parking lot by our house. There was a feriss wheel and I thought it would be so fun to ride it. We were going to go Friday night but I was so exhausted from work that I fell asleep on the couch! So we went Sat. night instead. I was worried that there would be long lines it being Sat night and all. We got there and walked right up to the ticket booth and bought our tickets. Walked up to the Feriss wheel and only had a few people in front of us. We only waited a few min before we got on. They were buckets rather then benches like you normally think of when you picture a feriss wheel. The buckets could fit probably 6 people and when we walked up to the one they directed us to there was already a couple in it. We went to get in and you could tell they were sad they weren't going to be alone, and we were sad we'd have to share. Then the the guy who told us to go up started hollering and waving, wait, wait. Apparently they just wanted us to go us and wait for the next bucket, not get on the bucket! There were happy faces all around when we realized this! And it was funny once they rotated it around and we got in they did the same thing to the next couple. They came up and started to get in, the man starts to wave and holler. You'd think it would just be easier to tell people, go to the top and wait for the next free bucket. Rather then just directing them to the bucket with people in it. (I feel like I've said bucket more in this paragraph then the past 5 years!!!) Once we were all in and got going it was so nice. The weather that night was AMAZING! Why we love living in Mesa! We could see for miles from the top. It was fun to share fair stories, and laugh at each other. After the ride we walked around and enjoyed the sights and smells of a carnival. Funny people, cotton candy, people screaming in delight and fear, kids with wide eyes loving everything, the girl with the HUGE stuffed animal. Ya know the typical sites! So the little street carnival was loads of fun! Afterward we decided dessert would be great and headed to BJ's Brewery. They have homemade root beer. After drinking it all I could say was perfection! I have never tasted better root beer in my life. With the root beer we had a pizookie. It's like cookie pie. It comes in it's own deep dish pan and it's the prefect cookie, hot and soft, and topped with two scoops of ice cream! The perfect dessert, perfect end to a perfect date!
