Yesterday, we went to the 4th of July carnival at the park by our house. Quinn rode two horses, a pony named Thunder, and a plastic one on the Merry Go Round. The first time Quinn rode on a Merry Go Round it was at the zoo, and she threw a mini-tantrum when I took her off the sea lion she was riding, only to be ok with it after we patted it, and told it, "thanks for the ride." We successfully avoided tantrums this time by thanking our horses as soon as the ride was over. The real ponies were whinnying the whole time. Quinn had never heard a horse make a noise before, and was quite fascinated.
We also watched some pole vaulters and listened to some guy play guitar. It was a fun, but way too hot afternoon. We only lasted like an hour, plus we spent nearly ten dollars for our one year old to ride two horses. We opted out of food at the carnival, and got snow cones from our favorite snow shack instead.

She's so cute on the horses! (My Mom has always paid to take my kids on horse rides at the fair, so I've stuck my head in the sand and refused to know how expensive it was!) :-)
Mmmmm . . . snow cones . . .
