Pony Ride


The Saturday before Mothers day the girls on my moms side of the family all met up in Salt Lake to go out to lunch. Daniel was the only boy lucky enough to tag along. They had this little petting zoo and horseback riding spot and I just had to try Daniel out on a horse. Okay they weren't horses they were only ponies. He loved looking at them and telling the noise that they made but of course the minute we got close to them it was major freak out. I have video and I'm going to try and post it. The picture kind of shows how upset he was. He was holding onto me for dear life the ENTIRE time and I think we walked around on the pony at least 8 times. I picked the smallest one and was bent over holding him. I felt like a really mean mom after that. I'll never make him do that again!!! (But just fyi he did enjoy himself at the end when he was away from the camera and other family members. I even got him to pet the pony once or twice. Still will never do that again.)

Like mother like son I guess. Do you REMEMBER when we stopped at Honey's one day to drop off Marin and you were freaking out because of their horses. You're funny! RaeAnn

Yes but I also remember them as wild horses and I believe that they also had dogs(which I am deathly afraid of). So that is double the fear factor. But its true he's just like me when it comes to animals.
