Spaced Out!
That's the over-riding emotion since eons now....feel pretty spaced out! The last few months have been an emotional roller coaster ride, literally and figuratively as well. It was a fitting tribute to my present state of mind and so a visit to an amusement park was mandatory. The child in me came out to the fore as I had the silliest smile plastered on my face while riding up and down the crazy rides, butterflies in tummy and all! The water ride was obviously the most fun, getting splashed on was heavenly!
This pic was taken on a visit to NASA sometime ago. Lego was one of my fave childhood play things. This space-suited astronaut is made entirely of Lego pieces. Used to spend hours with my Lego set, I even had a family -- a father, mother, and kid complete with living room and kitchen furniture! The toy sideboard even had little LP records with covers! Awfully cute indeed.
The amusement park had giant toadstools that you could climb through, and even a giant shoehouse to boot (pun intended). The only regret is that I am now too big to go inside the shoehouse and come out down the slide! :P
Whenever I come across incidents that trigger nostalgic memories of my childhood days, I regress back into kid mode. Am still a big kid at heart!
Childhood was filled with Enid Blyton's fantasy lands and fantastic characters, splashing about for hours in swimming pools, and playing hide-n-seek with the gang for hours on end seem like eternal bliss right now as compared to the topsy turvy ride adulthood has seen me through.
Why, o' why did I ever grow up? :(
