Wheeee!

We made a spur-of-the-moment (what does that mean, anyhow?) decision to visit Toronto's Centre Island on Monday. From about 2 until closing at 8, the Neufeld's made the most of a Family Pass and diligently went on almost every ride at the amusement park, together. Poor Justin tested the limits of his capacity for braveness on the Roller Coaster, which got his thumbs up, and the Log Flume, which didn't. His favourite was the pony ride. Jamie tested Josh's capacity for spinning, since Heather turned down any requests for dizzy rides.

I just had to look it up...
From "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable":
On the spur of the moment. Instantly; without stopping to take thought.

It comes from applying the spurs to a horse, which prompts it into action immediately. A sharp poke in the side does the same to anyone. OUCH!

I'm with Heather. The tilt-a-whirl, Saanichton fair 1980-something was the last spinning ride that I was on. Those are some cute kids you have!
