carousels and carriages

We met my mom for a fun out of the blue little Christmas adventure. We had planned on going to the Gingerbread Village but the line was and hour long! So we skipped that and really did go on an adventure through the streets of downtown Seattle. 

First stop was the Christmas Carousel...

After that we decided to find a real horse drawn carriage to take a ride in.Well, that proved to be a little bit more of a difficult task than we had thought. The carriages were nowhere in sight and so we were directed down to Pike & 1st. They weren't there either. Molly was getting a little bit sleepy at this point but she was a great sport. 


Next, we were directed all the way down to the waterfront, they weren't there either and by this point little legs were getting tired and whiny. My mom and Molly walked while the girls and I took a rickshaw. It was so fun, my favorite part of the day by far. No pictures of that though. We were going too fast. And I was pretty much laughing the whole time. 

Finally, we found the carriages, right across the street from the carousel. (I guess they hadn't started going yet when were were there). 

Heidi was pretty excited.
At the end of the ride the girls were each given a carrot to feed Comet, the horse. Heidi did not want to so Kyla did both carrots. 

A super fun spontaneous Christmas adventure of things that we had never done before!

We attempted the carousel, carriage and gingerbread houses tonight after cinderella. Each had over an hour wait so we left a bit dejected but found some other free entertainment. Blogpost coming, hopefully:-) You're pictures are so much better than mine of course.
