"Carousel Fright"

We spent the afternoon with JuJu at the Boardwalk today. We had a good lunch at a little pizza/Italian place and shopped at some of our favorite kid stores like Gymboree and Osh Kosh. As we were finishing up our trip, we took a stroll down to the carousel. Landon, you love the carousel and like to ride multiple times, jumping from horse, to rabbit, to bear, to crawfish; you like to ride them all. Shelby had never ridden before by herself. (She had been one other time, but I rode with her.) As I sat her atop the bear, she seemed to be fine, but once it started to spin and the music came on, one might say she "freaked" out. But Mommy was right there, and once she realized it wasn't going to kill her, it was actually kind of fun! I'm sure as you both get bigger, we'll be adding all sorts of amusement park rides to our repetoire, but for now, we'll keep it simple and ride the carousel!

"Oh, I've done this before. Wait a minute! It moves?! Get me out of here! Oh, this isn't so bad after all!"
