OK, this one is hilarious and embarrassing at the same time. I look ridiculous but truly, that ride was FUN! I'd risk embarrassment for fun like that again any time. Don't you wish you were there? I'll post a few more pictures later, I have a couple more cute ones of The Son that have to be turned in iphoto first!

Love the one of Nana and The Nephew on the carousel - cute!
Looks like fun!
I always forget that you're in PA. I really want to try and make a trip to DW sometime this summer. It looks like so much fun for little kids.
Anyway, here's the tuturiol in a nutshell with no pics.
1. Sand down any obvious flaws that are bugging you. I really sand very little. Only if there is something really chipped or flawed that I know will bug me once it's painted.
2. Wipe the whole thing down with a tack cloth. Or just a wet rag if that's all I have.
3. Start priming. I usually do two light coats vs. one heavy coat to minimize drips. I only let the primer dry for a few minutes between coats.
4. Let it dry for about an hour then use the paint. Again, a couple of light coats is better than one heavy coat. I only wait a a few minutes between coats.
Done.
Honestly, if the piece isn't going to get heavy use and is real wood, I sometimes even skip the priming part.
