Yee-Haw Pony Rides

Although it was only last weekend that Nico and I were down at the Stockyards, it has been quite a few months since he has seen the cattle drive that comes through on a daily basis. So yesterday, that was where we headed. It was just the two of us because Daddy had to work, and Nico had on his cowboy boots ready to "yee-haw." If you have been following this blog for a while then you saw the video of Nico's awesome reaction to seeing the longhorns last time, if not, then you can view the video here. This time Nico was much less amazed with the large animals, but instead got his mind hooked on something else.

He wanted to ride horses! There was a pony riding area and Nico got his mind made up on wanting to take a shot at riding them. I thought for sure that as soon as I paid for him to ride a pony, and he was set on top, he would start screaming to get down. However, he surprised me. I supposed those cowboy boots gave Nico some "yee-haw" spirit and courage, because up he went and he had a smile on his face the entire time!


And, of course this Mamma had to shoot a video of another first!


After the one ride, Nico of course wanted to go again, and again! So he did, that is after his Mamma located an ATM! With each consecutive ride, Nico's choice of pony got bigger and bigger.





After three pony rides, this little vaquero decided he wanted to jump in the stagecoach for a ride. So we did and got a nice scenic tour of the Stockyards area. Cowboy Nico had a good time in the Stockyards this weekend trying new things and his proud Mamma enjoyed watching her boy grow up just a little bit more right in front of her eyes.

I love you Nico....you make your Mamma so very proud.
