"'That was fun!"

That's what Carmen kept saying after a fun-filled afternoon of riding the Seattle Great Wheel.  The entire Skurski family gathered to take a ride 200 feet over the waterfront and take in the Seattle skyline from a new perspective. Carmen enjoyed the ride but had a hard time sitting still.  Luckily she was persuaded by all of the chocolate treats uncle Dan had in his pockets so she was on good behavior.  She kept pointing at the birds and ferry boats.  Max tolerated the ride but began to protest toward the end, but was a trooper.  Carmen and Max then got to take a ride on the merry-go-round; Carmen rode on a shiny horse and Max sat with Grandma.  A meal out to celebrate uncle Brian's birthday completed the afternoon.  "That was fun!"
