Carousel Dreams

The girls have been waiting to ride the Salem Carousel since our very first day in Oregon. It didn't disappoint! They each took four rides. Here's Charlotte on Big Sky.

There was time for some posing.
This is the dragon from the Albany Carousel. We were excited to learn that they are building an old-fashioned carousel right here in Albany. The girls enjoy going to the workshop to see the creatures in progress and pick up a handful of coloring sheets.
This carousel is going to be a menagerie with lions, bears, deer, dogs, a rooster and plenty of horses and other cool animals. It is going to be amazing!
This circus horse is my favorite. Her name is Kiwi and she will be a white horse with black spots and lots of bright pink, turquoise and yellow. So pretty.

Now we just have to wait for 5 years when the project is projected to be finished.

And two cute girls ready for church this morning.

It's funny to see you guys at the carousel now, instead of us-it will be a tradition for you too! We'll have to check out the Albany carousel when it's done.
