remembering our past!

As we get older we tend to forget a lot of the little things we did with our children as we get older! This picture was taken at the Paul Bunyan up in Bemidji! The place is gone! It was a very small place with a few rides and things for the kids to look at! But I remembered that when I was small and I loved that I got to go there, so we brought our children there! I remembered it as so big and now I think about when we brought our children there it wasn't that big at all!

There was this chicken game were you put in a quarter and the chicken was trained to play baseball and then he would get some feed for doing it! Now I think about it how mean it was to keep a chicken in a cage and it got to eat when it put the show on for us! But back then I thought wow this is so cool!

I really don't know if the kids even remember it! But they had this cool ride were they had to hand pedal the cart around the track! But they seem to enjoy the ride! Even though they had to work at it!

You can see how big Paul Bunyan was as the kids sit on his feet!

I really enjoyed my time of scanning in the pics and making them look good and now I can paste them anywhere I want! This has been so fun for me! I must say when I get the burning to the DVD figured out I will be thinking this will be my second hobby! (first is still scrapbooking) But the quilting is getting harder to find time to do!
