It's so fun to watch as my girls get excited about things. I wait to see if these things pass or they become serious obsessions. Lately Lucy has been loving all things pony. Our drive to school takes us past a few stables and we wave hi to the horses everyday. Followed by "Can we ride them, Pleeeeeaaaase." I found a few places in the area that offer pony rides for little kids. So we took the little girls to a barnyard zoo that has a petting zoo, all kinds of animals and, of course, pony rides.
Lucy literally galloped from one animal to the other petting as many as she could. We saw cows, pigs, camels, skunks, porcupines, goats, bobcats, deer, foxes, and more. When Lucy finished her pony ride she was so sad, she just stood there with her pouty lip. And then, of course, we had to visit the playground!
Next time we will definitely get he long pony ride. I foresee a lot more visits to the barn in my future. Even as I sit here looking at the pictures I have been asked no less than 30 times if we can go today. XO
