Train and Merry-Go-Round fun

Liam's friend Noah celebrated his 2nd birthday party at Burke Lake Park here in Fairfax County. It was fun, especially because the party included rides on the train and the merry-go-round. Liam enjoyed both, and Geoff and I enjoyed Liam's sheer happiness of both rides. Despite the fact that I am the one waving at Geoff from the merry-go-round and not Liam (who is hanging on for dear life), it brought to mind this William D. Tammeus quote...

“You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.”
