and why can't we go?

On Jeff and Angie's day of the family reunion they decided to take everyone on the alpine slide. We gathered up all the kiddos and giant kiddos (come on Christy) and got into the cars to drive there. We walked up to the base of the mountain where the slide begins. Now at the base there were several other attractions (those opportunists) that the kids thought looked exciting. I mean, who wouldn't? There were bounce houses, trampolines, zip lines, roller coasters and the ever famous carousel that had brightly painted animals. The kids looked at us with innocent faces and begged to ride the carousel. Those owners knew what they were doing when placing a carousel at the base of a mountain. Because, seriously? Who puts things like that on a mountain if not to make money. Anyway, there the kids all gathered. to stare as other kids went round and round and apparently had fun doing it because everyone on the carousel smiled, while all of the Brimhalls looked on, wishing they too could take a spin :)
