Carousel Conquered!

Charlotte doesn't jump into anything without a lot of thought first, and when it comes to busy streets and pools with deep ends, I'm all for her caution. Last weekend we made another visit to the Heritage Carousel, and after 20 minutes it looked as if Char was going to be a wallflower again.

Here she is contemplating the ride, and if the carnival music wasn't so loud, you could hear the gears in her head whirling around.

Then, without warning, Char ran to the entrance gate and began pounding the bars so she could be let in.

Taa, Daa!

Happily, even after riding 'round 'roun 'round, Charlotte still thinks Dad's brave for riding the tiger.
