Each year, as a treat for the kids, the miners' union would lease an amusement park for the day and we'd have the run of the place. No tickets, ride as much as you want!

We were invincible. Nothing could hurt us. We would live forever and live our dreams. That is what this amusement park is built on, providing the dreams or making new ones . . . for when we grow older and have fond memories to look at! lol<BR/><BR/>Great shot, Ron.
