State Fair Tradition

If you look closely, you can spot some of three generations of
Neilson toes peeking over the edge of the top-most bench.
Great Grandma Florence was 82 the last time she rode this classic double-ferris-wheel on the State Fair Midway. That was long before Emily was born, of course, but today she joined her kinfolk in this long-standing never-miss Neilson tradition. Everybody in the family loves this ride. Three generations challenged the mighty Skywheel today, with Grandpa Stan firmly on the ground to document this significant event.
Emily gamely took to the ride just as we expected, loving every minute of it, almost as much as did her ever thrill-seeking Grandma Kathleen and mother, Melissa.
