Carousel

We made the big trip north to Michigan for Christmas, starting at my parent's house in Stevensville. We have quite the activities in store during our two week stay. Tuesday we went downtown St. Joe to ride the carousel and eat at Silver Beach Pizza. This is the first time Mike's been there, and the kid's second time (their first was in October).

We were the only family on the carousel. And since no one was waiting in line, we got to take lots of pictures and learn all about the history of the carousel. This carousel is made completely of wood, including all the animals. It has twice as many lights than any other carousel, and has mirrors on the inside to add to the "sparkle". Plus, there are 6 white horses that are exact replicas of the horses from the past carousel. There was even a model of the past Silver Beach Amusement Park. The worker there knew a lot about it, which made it more enjoyable for us. The pizza was delicious to top it all off :)
