Today we went to flushing meadow park. Last time we went Teagan ended up sleeping through the Zoo and was only mildly interested in the Animals at the petting Zoo. Today we wanted to take her to the carousel. She has been riding her Lion like a horse so we thought she might enjoy the carousel. First MC took her on a little train ride. It was just a train that went around in a circle but it was a perfect ride for a 9 month old baby. She enjoyed the train a lot, and I was able to get a bunch of good photos of her and MC on it. The carousel on the other hand Teagan did not like as much. I put her on one of the horses that move up and down since she always tries to rock on the lion we have. She was very excited when she was sitting on the horse before we started moving. As we started moving however she was less happy. She didn’t really cry but you could see from her face she wasn’t having a great time. I am not sure if it was the speed, the wind, or the going up and down that wasn’t fun for her. Next time we will try a non moving horse.
After the rides we went to the petting zoo. Teagan got to pet a few animals and feed one or two. It was super hot and there weren’t as many animals out as there was the last time we went there. After a short time at the petting zoo we headed home. MC took Teagan to the pool in the late afternoon while I got ready for the reunion that I will write about in the next post.
