Is there anything in here for me to drink?

Be careful not to fall down in the dark, Mom and Dad. Follow me, I'll light the way!

We spent the afternoon in the nice cool mall yesterday and Betsy had her first carousel ride! She held onto the pole, waved, and watched the world go by. What a big girl!
