The wonderful Merry-Go-Round....a never ending favorite. I had a lump in my throat watching our grandson being held on a galloping horse while his Mum and Uncle tried to get him to smile. He cryed abit at first because he was so tired,(no nap) but was taking it all in with big eyes. It was a poignant 20 minutes or so for me as I watched and took picture after picture, hoping to catch the family with the camera as they flew by. Many of the children were being held on the horses by parents of course, wide-eyed and solemn....the dictionary says the definition of solemn is; deeply ernest, serious and sober. That describes many of the little ones to a 't' including our grandson. Yet, when the ride stopped he didn't want to get off the horse so we knew he was enjoying it. Life is full of precious moments, and had I been alone, a few tears would have slipped down my cheeks. Posted by Picasa
