One day last week Anthony and his girlfriend wanted to go to the mall. I wanted to look in the toy store and get some ideas for Hannah’s birthday, so we all loaded up in the Suburban and went to the mall. They have a carousal in the food court that the girls have seen, but never been on. So I talked Hannah into doing it, but once we got on she wouldn’t pick a horse to ride on and didn’t really want to have anything to do with it anymore. So I called Zale over to swap Hannah for Reagan. Turns out, Reagan’s ride was free so I put her on a horse, Zale sat with Hannah on one of the benches since she wouldn’t get on a horse and away we went. Reagan loved it, she laughed and held on to the pole as if she had done it many times before. Hannah sat beside Zale with a death grip on his pants with one hand, and the other was holding on to the bench. I think her knuckles were white. Even after we got off the ride Hannah looked shell shocked. But later she talked about it as if it was the best fun she had ever had. I wonder if we’ll ever get her back on it? I wish I had taken my camera!
