Miss Independence!

Mother's Day--Mommy's wish was to walk downtown to Congress Park to enjoy a picnic on the lawn and to ride the carousel.

Sometimes the highlight of the park is playing on the stairs to the casino
The carousel is beautiful. .truly a treasure of our town.
Chloe is still warming up to the idea. . however, she loves the "horsey".
But the food was tops! Not quite sure about the olives?!?!?!?
