(Picture: The metra we took is a double-decker train. It is the first time I sit on the “second floor” of a train.)

July 26
Today Mom took us to a family carnival in Highwood. We took the metra to get there.
Mom thought we could buy the ticket on the train, but no one came to sell the ticket, so we took this ride for free.

At the carnival, Mom bought the $20 special ticket for unlimited rides, instead of the $1 per coupon ticket. I was attracted to the bumper cars right away. I have played the bumper cars at other places, but not here. So I tried it here, and it is more fun than other places. Because when it goes backwards, it doesn’t go straight backwards. It turns around. If you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, the car will turn left. If you turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, the car will turn right.

I played the bumper cars for more than 10 times. If we bought the $ 1 coupon, we would need to spend $5 on every ride of bumper cars. Since we have the ticket for unlimited rides, Mom said I have earned the money back for her.

I like this carnival a lot, especially the bumper cars. The feeling of bumping people is like drinking soda, which gives you the maximum satisfaction!
