East Providence has a 115-year-old carousel, replete with antique horses and an old-fashioned music system. Aiden spontaneously asked to go there today, so off we went.The Crescent Park Carousel has a brass ring dispenser. Aiden can't reach the rings on his own, so Lauren or I would grab the rings for him. I stood behind his horse, but lucky lightweight mommy got to sit on the horse with him. (The horses have a 200 lb weight limit, so I could sit on one by myself, but not with Aiden.) By the fourth ride, Aiden was getting to be an expert at throwing the rings at the clown-face target.
My pics of the carousel are all too fuzzy (my older model iPhone has a slow shutter speed), but here are some pics of Captain Aiden at a bench designed to look like a boat.
For dinner, we went to DiParma, a local Italian restaurant. Lauren ordered a large pesto pizza (with the goal of taking home lots of leftovers). The kitchen accidentally made the wrong pizza but realized their mistake before bringing it out to us. Rather than tossing the other pizza, they gave us both for the price of one. Lucky for Lauren, the erroneous pizza was a bacon-asiago-chicken delight, even better than her original order.
