This annual event is a highlight in the town. We went to it last year despite possible rain. This year, we just had to bundle up! Madison was looking forward to it because we had told her there would be pony rides. Last year, the ponies didn’t come because of the rain. This year, we were ready!
We stood in a loooong line to get our 1/2 chicken, roll, nutty buddy, applesauce, and chips. The girls, surprisingly, ate some of the chicken. Madison, if you ask her, will say, “I don’t like chicken.” But apparently, this chicken has won her over… a little. All through supper we fielded questions about ponies. Finally, the time came to go to the ponies.
But we were sidetracked by Lerch’s Donuts – one of Jeremy’s favorites. (I enjoy them, too, when they are super fresh; kinda like the krispy kremes are only really good when fresh.)
Madison rode on the ponies
and rode on the ponies
and rode on the ponies. We ran out of money to donate, or I think she would have kept riding!
Ellie looked at the ponies, touched a pony, and that is it. No willingness to ride – let alone sit on a pony – from that one! (Notice how tightly she is clinging to me when she is close to the pony.) My favorite part of the picture of just Ellie and me – her hair… just check it out :)
Then, we went to the other big event – the tractor pull. Had we not been riding ponies so long, Madison could have competed in her age bracket. I guess you have to have something to look forward to next year, right? We cheered on those we knew that go to our church instead.
It was a good evening.
