Bushnell Park

On Thursday after going to lunch with Grandpa Tom and meeting his work friends we stopped at Bushnell park on the way home.  Penny loved the carousel and has been nonstop talking about the “horseys that go round and round and up and down”.  Bushnell Park is in Hartford and has a beautiful carousel that was built in the early 19oo’s and has a play ground as well.  It was the perfect day to play outside and ride the carousel.  We had so much fun that we’re planning on going with Grandpa Tom too!
