maggie and the jack rabbit

in my family, riding the jack rabbit at kennywood is a rite of passage. i first rode it the summer before my second birthday. erik rode it for the first time just before he was two and a half when we went to kennywood for mother's day. maggie took her first ride on the jack rabbit last saturday, just after her second birthday. by all measurements, she was not quite tall enough to meet the 36 inch requirement, but some tall shoes, a pony tail on the top of her head, and an attendant who didn't pay much attention to measuring her all contributed to her getting to ride.
