The McCravy Monologues: Ponies!

Ponies!

Our MOMS Club went to Fort Gordon yesterday for pony rides and a picnic. We had SO MUCH FUN!! The kids were ecstatic about the idea of riding the ponies. If you don't know already, horses are a really big deal where we live and we see them a lot. Jack has been asking to ride a pony again for a while now and yesterday was his day.

When we arrived, Sam did this. . .

while everyone else did this.

Eventually the ponies and helmets were ready and Anna insisted on wearing a helmet even though she wasn't in the first group of riders.

And we're off!
The moms led the ponies along a trail and through the "jungle" (according to Jack and his friends).

The ponies took a break for hay and water while the next group got ready.

She kept reminding me all day long, "They're not horsies, mommy, they ponies!"

Jack's turn again. Thankfully the other wonderful moms took turns watching Sam so I could go with Jack and Anna on the ponies.

After the pony rides, we had a wonderful picnic . . .

and played on all three of the super fun playgrounds!

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
