Carousel museum

Having young house guests was the perfect reason to head for the C. W. Parker Carousel Museum in Leavenworth today. We learned all about the history of merry-go-round making and saw carousel horses (and rabbits and even a French pig) in a variety of conditions. Our short visit culminated in a ride on a restored carousel from 1913. Annabelle and I opted to ride in the carriage, but Fred and Mike climbed aboard the ponies:



Mike monkeyed around:



All my photos are here:



After the museum, we took some munchies up to the man cave and settled in for an afternoon of football:

Love the carousel pictures, Bonnie. We had a bit of a carousel thing once upon a time...
