May 31, 2008 -- The local park Carousel turned 100 years old. Today was a special celebration at the park to commemorate this landmark birthday. While less than animated, Anna continued to nod her head when asked if she was having fun, even though she never cracked a smile. I began to wonder if she was being truthful, but my answer came as we walked away from the carousel and she quietly said, “Again?” We opted for a ride on the park train instead, since the day was getting hot and humid and the lines of people began to grow longer. She enjoyed the train ride and even said thank you to the Conductor afterwards as he let her pull on the handle to make the whistle blow. With extra tokens in our pocket, we’ll be back again soon.
