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!
