Here's some more pictures from Xander's last farm class and first pony ride...
Dada and Xander watched and listened (at times patiently) while our instructor explained how we were to pet and brush the pony and then while the kids took turns riding Mr. Winchester the other kids would be moving buckets of shavings into the pony's stable so he'd have a nice place to sleep when he was done with his rides.
It took a while for him to get into it, but eventually Xander showed interest in the shavings. But not to fill buckets with, not to even carry the empty bucket around (which we thought he would do, due to his love of buckets) but to run back and forth shuffling his feet getting shavings to fly around. That was hilarious! (He's also discovered that he loves doing this with loose gravel... super cheap entertainment for future reference.)
Haha! See! HILARIOUS! Every photo of him doing this activity is fuzzy because he got so excited and moved so fast!
Then it was time for Xander's very own pony ride! As our previous post stated, he didn't take to it right away, but when he got going he loved it. Check out the smiles on his and Dada's faces!
Mama loved how Xander left his hood on, but held it in his hand like he was tipping his cowboy hat. Howdy Partner!
Still having a great time...
... and tipping his "hat"...
Then it was Mama's turn to make sure Xander stayed on the pony while Dada took some photos. Very nice of Dada :)
We all laughed and smiled so much! Everyone loved the pony ride!
More smiles...
... and more smiles!...
coming around the last corner... sadly the ride is almost over now...
... but we're still loving it!
Mama and Dada are going to look into finding other opportunities for Xander to get to ride a pony. Who knows, maybe he's a little cowboy in the making!
