Tina: Sure, go ahead we’re in no hurry and we can stand to be out of the sun for a bit.

Bette drops in her first quarter and the balls release into the cue. She rolls her first ball, just 20 points, next is 30 and then she gets a 50.

Bette: That’s what I’m talking about baby, it’s starting to come back to me now.

Boo is clapping and raising her arms to be lifted from the stroller. Tina takes her out and she walks straight to Bette and gives her the look.

Angelica: Ball. Play.

Bette: Ah, we have another skeeballer in the family

She lifts Angelica up onto the lane and helps her roll the ball. Angelica laughs and takes the next ball and throws it, hits the net on the top of the game out of bounds. Tina it getting this on video, including Bette walking up the lane to get the errant ball. She tries again to help Angelica roll the ball, this time, 10 points. The moms clap and cheer on there new star. Tina tries her hand at the game and sees what fun it can be and how addictive it can be.

Tina: Hey Bette, there is an air hockey table, you game?

Bette: Have you just named the time and place? If so I am so there.

Tina: Oh god so much bluster.

Tina quickly finds out it wasn’t just bluster: Bette 7, Tina 3. They have a rematch, closer but Bette still wins.

Bette: Are we ready for that first ride? Carousel or one of those rides that just go round and round slowly?

Tina: Definitely the carousel. I’ll go get a strip of tickets you go get in line.

Bette: You want to take the first ride?

Tina: Nope, this one if for you, I’ve got he camera ready so be sure to smile big.

Bette and Angelica choose a beautiful white horse that will go up and down. Bette decides to stand next to the horse and hold Angelica from the side. That way she could also see her facial expressions, especially once the horse begins to travel up and down. The carousel turns slowly and the horse moves. Angelica’s face goes from a big grin to serious and wide eyed. She looks up at a smiling Bette and her smile returns and she starts to enjoy the ride. When the rotation ends Tina comes onboard and switches places with Bette. They repeat this a few more times as Angelica refuses to leave her pony. They move to one of the car rides where the child is strapped into a vehicle and the group rotates slowly or a few minutes. Again Angelica’s initial reaction is one of fear, but eventually she is enthralled by the flashing lights of the ride and they seem to hold her attention. They ride several more rides like this and she eventually grows to love them, smiling wide for the camera. While Bette waited to put Boo on the last ride Tina snuck off to grab a box of popcorn. The mom’s nibbled on that while Boo continued to ride. The family just walked the boardwalk for a while picking up a couple of cute items from the gift shops on the boardwalk. Tina finally grabbed her cotton candy and Bette got a single vanilla soft serve cone. Both moms shared their vice with the baby. The ice cream got an initial frown from the baby due the shock of the cold, but eventually she called for seconds of that. The cotton candy also got a weird reaction. First she played with it, (thankfully they had all sanitized their hands before snacking) then touched it to her tongue. Another weird face later Angelica ate this too, but couldn’t seem to grasp how it disappeared before she could bite it. The family sat near the end of the pier and watched the rides and boardwalk come alive with the lights of dusk.
