Pony rides

Ever since our excursion to the horse unit at Cal Poly, Meagan has been in love with horses and ponies. She has accumulated quite the collection of stuffed ponies, and lately she has taken to "fixing" them with bandages (stickers and tape). Her uncle gave her the pink rocking horse for Christmas, which she rides with wild abandon.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and thank my lucky stars that she isn't as enthralled with riding the real thing. We wandered through the county fair last month and came upon the pony ride. She was all but bursting at the seams to get in line to ride the ponies, until it was her turn to climb the steps and get on. The smiles disappeared quickly. Luckily there were no tears, but this was look on her face for the entire ride.

She's still playing and "fixing" her stuffed ponies, but doesn't want anything to do with the real deal anymore.
