Tilden Park merry-go-round

Tilden Park in Berkeley has a big, decadent, amazing Christmas display at their merry-go-round every year, and Daisy LOOOOOVES merry-go-rounds. She's been talking about the Tilden Park Scary-go-round every single day since Halloween, so naturally, I promised her she could go to this one. Here are some pictures. You will note Daisy is NOT SMILING in these pictures. On the contrary, she is VERY SERIOUS. The experience of riding a merry-go-round is very intense for her; it is not mere idle fun. She rode five times, and three of them were on a zebra.






Riding the zebra




Daisy was not pleased about missing a ride while we got more tickets, and she waited at the gate to get back on instead of wandering the Christmas wonderland outside.


Riding with Dada


Meeting Santa and his elf; Daisy said she wanted a candy cane for Christmas, and Santa promptly gave her one.

This is funny--Santa's elf was trying to blow on Daisy's cold little hand to warm it up, but it looks like she's trying to eat Daisy
