Nicky and I went first to the steam trains and then to the carousel in Tilden Park today.

We both had a lot of fun.

It’s great to be able to spend time one on one with the kids, and as the middle boy Nicky sometimes seems to get a little less attention than his younger or older brother.

He rode the merry-go-round at least five times, many of them in the rotating saucer. The double rotation made me dizzy after just one ride.

This carousel in Tilden Park near us is an elegant and wonderful thing for kids of all ages!
