I loved staying with Aunt Lena in Baileys Harbor when I was 10. It was a small town and you could walk everywhere- movies, beach, ice cream store.
In the grocery store there was a poster announcing free carousel rides when you bought a fudgesicle. I imagined the one in Disneyland and bought 12 of them.
The carousel came on the back of a pick up truck with 3 tiny plastic animals, just the size for 5 year olds.
I went round and round eating fudgesicles until I felt sick. Then I gave the fudgesicles and the rest of the free ride tickets to the little kids standing in line.
I still can’t eat fudgesicles.
