Saturday we went to "Kids Day" at Riverfront Park. There were a lot of people there. It was estimated approximately 12000 people were in attendance. I thought it was really neat. You did not have to pay for anything that the kids did, except for riding on the carousel.

This is the wonderful Loof Carousel. It was made in 1909 and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. It is wood and is hand carved. There are 54 horses, 1 giraffe, 1 tiger and 2 Chinese dragon chairs. In the following pictures, you will noticed, that everyone got on a horse! Mike and I were doing all the pictures. We had our camera along with Julie' and Tae's.

After riding the carousel, we walked on down the park. Here we were able to design our own sun visors.

We saw Ronald McDonald. Sydney wasn't even afraid of him!! Ronald signed a little frisbee for her and Sydney told him thank you.

Check out this CROWD!!! All of these people are waiting for the Sesame Street program to start! OH MY!
