Just horsin' around!

Yesterday Kimmy, her kids, my mother-in-law and Trent and I went to the good ol' Manchester Mall. My mother-in-law had to get some things at Sears so we decided we might as well stroll the mall while we were there. Man have things changed since I was a little girl. I vaguely remember things about the mall, like Eddie's bakery that used to have these AMAZING frosted sugar cookies....sadly they aren't there (and the new location doesn't have the cookies I love). BUT....Manchester just wouldn't be the same without the carousel. The whole way through the mall Tyler (my nephew) was begging to "ride the horses"...I mean come on...are you going to even deny a 3 year old a ride on the horses? you'd have to be heartless. So I figured Trent was big enough for me to plop him on top of a horse and take a ride on the carousel. I also remembered my camera was conveniently in my purse so I took advantage of this blog worthy moment and had my mother-in-law take pictures of our oh-so-fun ride. Trent clung onto my arm for dear life and didn't really like it in the beginning. His death grip on me loosened up by the 10th time around, just as I felt like I was going to lose my soft pretzel...but I focused on the horses in front of me, kept my eyes away from the spinning stores to my right, and I survived the ride....oh and so did Trent.

Trent couldn't be happier the ride was over!
