Chapter 4: Carnival Eats, treats, and Memories
Inside a Cobalt Blue truck is Logan driving behind the wheel, with him is Laura who is sitting by him in the passenger seat looking out the window. She was about to sit back in her seat when she saw a sign that said: Annual City Carnival next right
this intrigued Laura mainly because she had no idea what a carnival is and she's wondering if Logan would take her so she could experience it for herself. Laura turned her attention to Logan and asked him
"Could we go to this "carnival" that's happening on the next right?"
Logan looked at her and said "uh I don't know kiddo they're really not that...he was interrupted by Laura who asked again but in a pleading voice, hoping Logan would change his mind "please dad I really want to go."
Logan looked straight at his daughter's eyes and saw that Laura was hesitant on wanting to go to the carnival judging how she said he also thought about how this experience could have a somewhat positive affect on Laura so he immediately changed his mind and turned the truck to the exit the carnival would be. In less than 30 minutes they reached their destination and parked in the parking lot which surprisingly only cost Logan two dollars.
Logan and Laura got out of the truck, walked to the admissions line and payed ten dollars, once they walked in Laura immediately ran to a nearby concession stand that was selling medium buckets of fries because the smell of them caught her attenion she was also wondering if they would taste as good as they smell.
Logan walked towards where Laura was and asked her "Ya just gonna look at 'em all day or are ya gonna buy 'em?" Laura took out her wallet, handed the three dollars to the cashier and right away he handed Laura a medium/large bucket of fries since the guy already finished making them. After Laura got what she wanted Logan told her he saw a nearby table that they could sit while she eats her fries. Laura was about to eat her fries until she was looking at Logan seeing he had'nt bought anything for himself so she just asked him. "you want some of my fries?" Logan looked at Laura and said "sure why not besides it's big enough anyway." he dug his hand and already he had a handful of fries, he immediately ate them after that he asks Laura for a napkin which surprisingly she, had a couple in fact. 'She obviously took them from the vendor while he wasn't looking' he thought to himself. After five minutes of eating they discarded the empty bucket into a nearby trash can, they both stayed at the table till Laura broke the silence between them "I'm having fun today dad, thanks for taking me to the carnival, I had no idea carnivals were this much fun , also I noticed there are animals here could you tell me why?" she said Logan looked at Laura and told her: "I'm glad your having fun darlin' and to answer your question, animals are here because some people would want to pet them or offer them food, sometimes they would be entered in small contests to see which animal is well dressed." Logan explained.
"Oh OK that's good to know, hey could we look at the animals I wanna see if I could pet and feed one."
"Sure I don't see why not." the duo then got up and left the table they had sat in and walked toward the barn where the animals were. while inside Laura saw a goat and looked at it , suddenly an idea popped in her head and a small smile. "dad could I feed the goat?" she asks
"go ahead hey there's a small machine with food behind you." Laura turned around and saw the machine, inserted the quarter and in less than a second , a small amount of grain covered both her hands. she then turned back to the goat holds out her hands and as expected the goat dug his mouth into the food. while this was happening Laura started to giggle till the goat had its food and left but not before Laura Pat the goat " your welcome" Laura said.
unknown to her, Logan managed to take a picture of Laura feeding the goat he then put his phone away.
"Laura wanna try the mini games they have?" Logan asked. "sure" Laura said while walking with Logan toward the exit. they walked toward the games within a millisecond Laura had her attention on one that had a sniper gun that required someone to hit the targets "that one, I wanna try that one" Laura said while pointing to the game. Logan looked toward the game Laura wanted to try and said "sure Laura".
they both walked up to the owner of the game paid the five dollars since Laura wanted more tries Incase she would miss. Laura then positioned herself, took the gun lined up her shot and on her first try she managed to hit the target but since she paid five dollars for three shots she thought instead of one shot how about two more she then hit the target two more times with ease. the owner while looking shocked said "wow kid nice shot". Laura looked at the him and said "thanks now I believe you owe me a prize." the owner then gave Laura a brown bear she then took it and said 'thank you' to the owner and left. while they walked Laura stopped her walking looked at Logan and asked "dad could you take a picture of me with my bear?" Logan got out his phone and took the picture once he did he put it away. for the rest of the day Laura and Logan ate food, rode rides, and took pictures. When it started to get dark Logan had to carry Laura in his arms due to the fun she had. Once Logan saw the car he unlocked it and put Laura in the passenger seat wrapped her seatbelt around her and closed the door. Logan then got on his side of the car and was about to start his car till he pulled out his phone and looked at the photos they took today, one photo made him smile and that photo was one of Laura feeding the goat and smiling while she fed it. all in all today was a great day for not just for Laura but for Logan as well.
