The best part of today was seeing Sylvia skip and jump with joy when she saw "Pal" and "Avalon", her two favorite carousel horses. Here she is, reunited after 2 years with "Pal's Pal", her favorite pony.
Asher tried to look cool while riding, but failed miserably. :)
The carousel can bring smiles to all ages, even Noel.
Mattias kept busy trying to create a math formula to predict who would get the brass ring from the dragon's mouth, depending on how many riders there were, and how many rotations the carousel did. The random variables were too much for him in the end though, and he never came up with a solution. Maybe next visit.
Brad and Liz were wonderful hosts... letting us drag them around to all the sites on our "Must do in Missoula" list. Today was carousel and "Out to Lunch" in Caras park day.
We used to attend "Out to Lunch" every Wednessday in the summers that we lived there. The older kids were too cool to hoola-hooop down in front of the bandstage, but Sylvia went with me. Afterwards, we cooled off in sprinklers in Brad's backyard paradise. Below is Sylvia, eating a popsicle, and getting a "back scratch" from the sprinkler.
The boys had a good time holding each other in front of the more powerful rotating sprinklers out in the pasture area. Everyone came in soaked.
