Four Picture Friday: Sunday in the Park with Chimpy

Just over a month ago, Chimpy and I drove past a roadside carnival on our way to the salvage yard. We didn't stop but I pointed out the merry-go-round to her. As usual, she added it to her vocabulary AND long-term memory and has asked for 'more may-go-wown' several times since then. Luckily there is a permanent merry-go-round across the bay, so we made an expedition to see it.

The merry-go-round was much faster than any of us three expected, and Chimpy was a little unnerved. The trauma was nothing a kiss from a giraffe and a cream puff couldn't fix, though.
