One of Lexi and Mom's favorite outings is to the
Carousel in Central Park. This from the Park's website: "Central Park's first carousel was built in 1870 and, according to Park lore, was turned by a blind mule and a horse. . . . Crafted by the Brooklyn firm of Stein and Goldstein in 1908, the Carousel is one of the largest in the United States, with 58 hand-carved, painted horses. Stein and Goldstein were among the foremost carvers of their day and the horses – nearly life-size in the outer ring – are caught rearing or mid-stride with almost fierce reality." This time around, Lexi didn't want me even touching her and requested that I sit on my own horse next to her. This is one of the best smile pictures we have of her.
