Timeless Tuesday: First Go Round

Carousel or Merry Go Round, whichever you call it I'm guessing that for you it conjures up the same memories that it does for me.  A special family adventure, a trip to the fair, a day at the zoo topped off with a spin around on your favorite flying pony.  I only have to see a carousel and hear that circusy music to taste cotton candy and Superman ice cream.

This is Baby Boy taking in the Richland County Carousel, his first merry go round.  This picture is just about as sweet as any piece of chocolate I've ever had.

Wow!  Horses, Mommy!

Enough standin' around.  Let's do this.



For those of you who regularly make the trek between Columbus and Cleveland (or further north or further south) may find a reprieve for the road weary kiddo at the Richland County Carousel.  It is located in downtown Mansfield and although sadly downtown Mansfield does not have much to offer these days the Carousel is beautifully maintained and serves as an exciting, inexpensive stop for those passing through.  There is an ice cream shop around the corner and a few antique stores for those who need to stretch their legs for longer than a merry go round ride.
