And then there's a new-but-feels-old-timey carousel that only costs 50 cents a ride. The kids love it! I should have caught Piper's squeals on camera when she first saw it.

Heritage Carousel
The suburb where we live, just outside of Des Moines is a nice place. Safe neighborhoods, good schools. But when it comes to things to do and places to go, Des Moines is the place. I don't know if this is true everywhere, but here it seems like the suburban towns like to place a play structure in an open field and call it a park. No trees, no shade. But there are some great Des Moines parks, like this one we went to today. There is a great wading pool, which Piper dives headfirst into, despite the posted "NO DIVING" signs. You'd think she couldn't read or something.

We stopped in Rexburg on our way home from Yellowstone a few weeks ago. We found a park to let the kids play, and so we could stop and eat. It had an old carousel, and I was so excited to let the boys ride it. They actually didn't seem that impressed. I guess they liked it, but they haven't talked about it or anything since then. But I can guarantee that if I don't let them ride the (relatively pricey) carousel at the zoo the next time we go there will be lots of whining.
ReplyDeleteFun carousel! 50 cents a ride is a great deal, you can ride a couple of times without feeling like you paid too much.
