We had a great family evening at the free carousel rides on Friday night! My one year old daughter was a bit leery to sitting on a horse, but once she watched her brother go round and round, she hopped on, too. The kids loved playing at the park afterwards, and they really loved the ice cream we ate at Scoops as a late night snack.

My daughter and I took her 16 month old son to the hobby horse rides both Friday afternoon and evening. He loves them and they plan many more trips there as they have recently moved back to Brenham. Also we would like to thank the Washington County Fine Arts Council for sponsoring the free rides on select Friday nights. We had the pleasure of thanking Dr. Dietrich in person that evening. He shared with us his observations of the fun he saw Charlie having!
