Ride 'em Cowboy

Today was our first official outing in our new town. It was the Annual Harvest Fair - small with vendors and food - made me miss Ithaca a lot. I miss the farmer's market and the crazy parades and every weekend in the fall it seemed there was some sort of festival on the common. I miss that.

Anyway....Alex discovered the ride on ponies at daycare the other day and LOVED them. Every morning since discovering it he runs over and gets on. So I thought OK we need one so I go out on Friday and get one. He likes this one too!

Then today there are pony rides. One black one one brown one and there are little kids on them so I figure what the heck - ALEX LOVES THE PONIES! We watched for a while and asked him if he wanted to ride. He says Yes so off he goes with Daddy. He cried - because he had to get OFF! So we walked around a while and decided to go back for one more ride. He rode the smaller brown one first and the bigger black one the second time. He held on to the saddle tight!

Where have we been?

Back to school and daycare but here are a few pictures of the last few weeks. This weekend we were in sweatshirts feeding the ducks: Here is Alex trying to get the ducks to come over to him.

Here is Alex and Daddy feeding the ducks some bread.

Chilling on Mommy's bed watching Thomas the Train on the TV. Daddy doesnt like how the narrator does all the voices.

Amazingly last weekend we were in the big pool - well everyone but Alex was. He chose to sit on the edge and try and empty the pool one cup at a time in his truck.

But he really likes his little pool and jumps and splashes and "swims" as best he can in it!

What a difference a week makes! Gotta love New England!
