Bruce and I took the boys to Point Pleasant tonight. They were having an event called “Lots for Tots.” They were doing video ID’s as well as pony rides, a petting zoo and a children’s concert. After we got them videoed and fed them, we brought them to the ponies.

All three of them rode ponies at Monmouth Race Track a few weeks ago, and Evan and Bobby rode ponies last week at the town fair. Only Bobby would go tonight. He went willingly without Bruce or me. Bruce told the handler that Bobby took horsemanship seriously. He truly does. He sits up straight on the pony, holds onto the pommel with one hand and lets the other hand hang at his side like he’s too cool and has done this his whole life. Tonight he held on and pointed things out to the handler with his serious work face on. It’s too cute.

After Bobby’s ride, we walked towards the petting zoo. Evan was interested but the line was huge, so I had him touch the lamb, bunny and calf through the fencing. It worked well enough for him.
