Pullen Park visit

I remember going to Pullen Park in Raleigh as a child. I loved the kid boat ride and carousel. We would beg to go paddle boating too. I have very fond memories there, so it was extra special to take Dazie there for the first time today.

She thoroughly enjoyed the swing.

This is her second time on a carousel and she seemed to enjoy it more this time. I know her face doesn't show much excitement, but once it started moving she lit up a bit.

This is her serious face.
When she experiences something or someone new,
she usually looks like this. It doesn't last long, then she is all smiles. 

We rode the train.

The ducks swim right up to you.

We had a great time together!

Pullen Park was built in 1887 and is the first public park in North Carolina. It is the 5th oldest operating amusement park in the US and the 16th oldest in the world. Only one ticket is needed for each ride and six tickets for the paddle boat ($1 per ticket; 12 months and younger ride free). There are several playgrounds and even a sand & water play area. Check it out if you are in the area.
