Memorial Day at Pullen Park

About a minute on the toys:
 until the direct sun became uncomfortable
The Pullen Caboose 
A ride on the C.P. Huntington miniature train, a one-third size, near-replica of the famous locomotive of the same name.
 A lovely boat ride!
(Ryile decided she was too big for this one)
Finally Eli smiling, he really Did enjoy it!
 And last but not least a ride on the Gustave A. Dentzel Carousel (1911), which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

 The park website says that Pullen Park is the fifth oldest operating amusement park in the United States and the sixteenth oldest in the world. Just a fun historical fact to throw in

Yikes! Riley looks so much older with her hair up!

That does look like a fun day. And so many ride options for Eli. He should have been in transportation heaven! (Aaron looks like he could take it or leave it- that's what happens when you get old :0)
