Spooky carnival

Last weekend we took the kids to a spooky carnival at the museum. The girls loved being in costume and we had a great time. The highlight of the day was riding the ponies. Sydney is so brave, she walked right up to that pony and pet him, no fear. She climbed right onto Elmer and rode away. She had a death grip on Grandpa's hand but she did it. Jordan tried to sit on the horse but wanted no part of it. Lior stood far away and watched as Sydney rode away.
I was so upset because Lior talked about riding the pony the day before. "Mommy I am going to get on that pony and get off and do it again and again." She wanted absolutely no part of it. We walked away and enjoyed the rest of the carnival. The kids picked up ducks and won candy. They dug for Dinosaur eggs. Kicked huge soccer balls. Posed for pictures. And rode a trackless train.Sydney decided she wanted to ride the pony again, this time she rode Thunder. When she heard the name of the horse she said "Under Like the sky Mommy!"She was so excited and only wanted Grandma to walk with her while she rode.
Lior watched Sydney climb on that horse and decided that she was riding this time. She took one look at Elmer and decided she was not riding that one and Thunder was too big so she waited for Flash. She climbed on and loved every minute of it.
She liked it so much she rode him twice. They both liked it so much they wanted to go back the next day to ride them again. Jordan could not wait to leave so she could dive into her candy.Akiva was just happy sitting and watching all the action. Just wait until next year when he is ready to ride Flash, Thunder and Elmer, he was taking notes!
