Frances made a break for it. I think she liked the beach.
"Hey, guys, anybody watching me?"
Michele, Sophia, Frances and me.
There was a carousel right at the beach. We mounted them up, belted them on and stepped back. Neither of the girls blinked an eye when her mount started moving. Natural born equestrians!
Her first time on a carousel!
The girls' favorite activity? Running away. Really. All four parents were occupied with doing his or her own thing, each assuming that one of the others was watching the girls. Mark could hear them talking to each other and eventually realized that their voices were getting really distant. When he finally caught up with them, they'd made it out the front door, down the steep brick rail-less steps and half way down the block, happily chatting away to each other. Mark said Frances was not at all pleased at being reined back in. Parenting Points were lost. Not sure we're going to let these two hang out as teenagers. Too dangerous.
