His first pony ride!

Look at my big boy! We went to Yates Cider Mill this past weekend. Brendan say the ponies and right away wanted to go for a ride. We got in line and he watched and waited patiently and when it was his turn, he knew exactly which pony he wanted to ride.

I lifted him up and set him on the saddle. Then I heard it.. what every mom dreads hearing. "Mom, don't hold onto me!". It took everything I had not to keep my hand right there around his waist. I was so afraid that he would fall and hurt himself. But, he was determined to ride this pony all by himself, and so I let him. Ok... I held onto a tiny piece of his sweatshirt in the back. Don't tell him! LOL!
