Horses in the Park

What a fun day! Zig and I went to the city park to find his cousin for a play date. Rob is always with his great-grandmother (who does not have a cell phone) in the afternoons, so sometimes we have to look for a while before we find them. While we were crisscrossing the park I saw two girls holding a pair of horses by their halters. There is only one reason to bring a couple of cute horses to a park full of kids on a summer afternoon... to make a buck!

Zig got his $5 worth of pleasure for sure, but he was kind of nonchalant about the ride. He did tell the girl that he wanted to ride SLOW.

After he found his cousin and played for a while, it was dinner time and we started home. When we passed the gazebo on our way back through the park, there was a brass band playing waltzes that I recognized from different movies but couldn't put a name to. People were dancing and we stood around for a while and listened, but then Ziggy's bike announced that it couldn't sit still anymore. He makes "vroom vroom" noises ALL the time when he rides his bike. Reminds me of how my mom used to make car noises when she was driving us around when we were kids.
