The Ride: A Picture Diary

Eliza's favorite activity on the cruise was the carousel on the ship's Boardwalk.  All in all, she rode it around 25 times, with probably three-quarters of her rides on the bunny.  We think her affinity for this bunny originated from one of her books that has real pictures of rabbits.  Her desire to ride the carousel is the only reason she woke up in the morning.  It got so bad that we had to avoid walking near the Boardwalk, otherwise she would start pointing in the direction of the carousel and repeat over and over "ride, ride, ride." And when it became apparent that no ride was in her future, it became "RIDE!, RIDE!, RIDE!"  More often than not, we acquiesced and we have the pictures to prove it.  Below is a picture diary from Eliza's perspective.

I'm gonna ride that one, the one with the big, white ears.

This isn't half bad.

Let's do it again before someone takes my bunny.

Now, Pa-pa, this is how you do it.  Hold me tight.

Ahhhhh, bunny.

I want the bunny.

Seriously, not kidding, want the bunny over there.

When I find out the cabin number of that kid on my bunny...

Zebra is pretty fun though.

But not as fun as my bunny!

Daddy's turn!

This one isn't too bad either.

Let's get this thing moving!

Victory!

It feels so good!

Mommy's turn.  YAY!

Hey, you, in the crowd, I see you eyeing my bunny.  Not a chance.

Back on the, zebra, but that's OK.  Before, this photo I only had about 10 undocumented  rides on the bunny.

Hi, Mommy!

I rode so much, I even got to ring the bell!

I had a great time!!!!
