A Dream Realized

Riley recently told me all she wanted for her birthday was to ride a real-live pony. Well, actually she told me she wanted a pony ride, a new outfit, some new shoes, LOTS of new Polly Pockets, a dog bed for Simon, a kitty cat bed for Rory, and a lunchbox for school next year. So you can imagine how happy she was when ONE of her birthday wishes came true very early this year! We had no idea when Brice took them to the Chili Cook Off at First Pres. today that there would be a pony ride to go along with the chili. We don't think the best chili won, but everyone enjoyed the pony rides, and Lizzie got to practice her very best "pageant" wave.
