Pony rides freak me out. I have a vivid memory of being on a pony at my dad's company picnic. Something bad happened right after they put me on the pony, my dad threw his back out and was laying on the ground. And here I am on this pony doing the ride loop and I just wanted to make sure my Dad was okay. I was a screaming mess by the time they got me off the pony and back to my parents. Truly horrible. I shudder at pony rides. MeMom you have things trapped inside things phobia, I have pony ride phobia. But I am GLAD that Brooklynn enjoyed hers.
Love the light fixture picture, but you already knew that.
Okay, so now we have fears of enclosed spaces, birds, and ponies. I'm sorry you had that bad experience and the lingering memory of that time.
Anyone else care to share their fears? Maybe we can help each other get through them. We laugh about them, but they are really fears, so someone might come up with suggestions on how we can deal with them better.
I hope I never develeop a fear of shopping!
infinite wisdom?
ray would get a kick outta that. okay, maybe when you add the word "disney" in there.
i laughed out loud at bella in this picture!
i turned the computer around and showed ray and said, "can you see bella in this picture?" he goes, "yeah, she's looking down." i said, "no, that's brooklynn. don't you see the baby?" he didn't even see her for a second and then when he did he was like, "is she alive????"
so exciting! you can see the excitment in her little face. glad she got to ride!
Bella spent a lot of time asleep this summer, but she slept a lot less on the October trip. In that little contraption, she falls asleep much better than when she is in a stroller, because it's like Jill is holding her.
I love that look on Brooklynn's face. That's why I love pictures so much. I can go right back to that minute and absorb myself in the sights, sounds, and smells of that time. Thankfully, the smell wasn't bad at all for us to have been around horses. Disney figured out a way to make the area clean and fairly odor-free.
Love Brooklynn's picture! I bet she was excited to take a ride on a horse...so fun!
She was. That might be something your boys would enjoy on your next trip if they don't get to ride at home. Some kids are around horses, and that little ride wouldn't have been very exciting to them, but for someone who is not around horses at all, except driving past them in the fields, that was a good time.
I love the pony ride! We had two Shetlands that we kept in our backyard when I was a little girl....
You are right, that picture said it all!
Punkin's post with Ray's comment had me cracking up.....
Poor Sleeping Beauty Bella!
So you are an expert. You probably would have enjoyed seeing those two youngsters chasing each other around. They were going from one end of the pen and back in circles for a long time. It was fun to watch.
A lot of people thought Jill was carrying a doll on the front of her.
That picture of Sleeping Bella is so funny!!! Love the excitement on Brooklynn's face on the pony ride. Hannah would love doing this. Something else to put on the list!
Aaah, the list! It is always good to have a Disney list.
At the top of our list for December is to see the Princess Tiana Showboat Musical, especially since it is supposedly only lasting for a short time.
Ah, she was so cute on that pony! Loved the pics as usual.
She was proud to be big enough to sit up there alone.
On the pictures - thanks.
I think a trip to Ft. Wilderness is in the 2010 summer plans for sure! Love the pony ride pictures!
The ride itself was short, but seeing the ponies was fun, and the Fort is just a different atmosphere anyway, so that's nice. We didn't go over to the big horse barn this time, but your kids would love seeing the huge horses over there, and the stable is so clean!

Happy Halloween to all of you! Hope you have good safe fun this evening. Please share pictures of all of your little ones in their costumes. We would love to see all the creativity, and we always enjoy seeing the kids between your Disney trip reports.
