Pure joy ...

If I was studying human psychology, today would have provided a wealth of material for analysis. I took 7 children to Coney Island Luna Park for the day and was able to see the full gamut of emotions on display ... from sheer, nauseating, near death experiences ... to completely uninhibited, smile-until-your-face-cracks, unbridled joy. All this, and often seated next to each other on the same ride.

Loved the exuberance of this woman in the red dress, completely oblivious to the fact that her undies were on display!

We now have 5 of the children for a sleepover and had a raucous dinner table as they all loudly retold their tales of daring on the rides. Somedays it's just good to be a mum.
