Too bad the po-po had to chase you down. I know it's their job and blah blah blah. At least you got a lot of really great pics, though. Thanks for the memories!!
This haunted house scared me to death as a child. I remember riding it with my father and getting mad that he was laughing and enjoying it because I thought the characters inside would get mad and try and kill us.

Her Mother now gone, she leaves a child who is now in her 40's.
Tonight she dreams that she is at the foot of this staircase holding a small lit birthday cake. In her other hand is a beautiful bouquet of red roses.
As she climbs this enchanted staircase she quietly sings "Happy Birthday" to the memory of her Mommy.
She turns around and sits down at it's very top, and lays the bouquet down next to her. Holding the small lit cake in both hands, the flames dance as she sings the last "Happy Birthday to you." of the song.
And right at the end, a slight summer's breeze blows through this enchanted stairway, as soft as any Mother's kiss. As it kisses the woman's cheek, it also softly blows out all the candles her Mother's birthday cake.
The woman looks down and sees the blown out candles and also notices that the bouquet of roses are now gone.
She smiles...her wish had been granted...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! " : )
