Christmas in July - I bonded with one kid in particular. He was afriad of the rides so we stayed together when the other kids went on those rides. We shared the experience of him winning a stuffed animal. At the end of the day I looked for him to say goodbye. Then I felt something tugging at my leg. It was my little friend giving my leg a big bear hug. A very memorable moment for me.
