Remember the classic merry go rounds (not the one you find at the fair, but the kind at the park)? They don’t exist anymore… they’re too unsafe. So it seems that idea is not so far fetched…

My daughter (2.5 yo) rode a real-life horse at a pony ride in Edmonton the other day (no helmet, just being led around the paddock by a staff member). Later that afternoon, at the SAME park, “regulations” dictated that I sit on the carousel pony WITH her. I couldn’t even stand beside her, I had to squeeze onto the pony with her. It didn’t make sense to either of us.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (11) and Sarah (9). I am a writer, web content manager, and family photographer. I've been blogging since 1999. I have a passion for words (on their own or strung together), the arts, healthy living, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, books, and great design. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal ... all rolled into one. If you're so inclined you can read more about me here >>
