Annie Oakley

Today Annie had her first horse ride, her first moon-walk, and her first cotton-candy.
She loved the horse (more on that in a minute), she bounced perfectly around in the moon-walk, but she hated her cotton candy.

I even tried to poke some in her mouth when it was wide open as she tried to say something. She just spat it out.

We tried to tell her that it was just sugar. But it was to no avail.

She eventually thought she might like it, and wanted to take some with us when we left. She never ate it, and when she decided she'd like to try it, it was just a hard lump on the stick - it had melted into a hard ball.

The horse she rode on was named Annie. There they were, Annie on Annie. The horse's full name is actually Annie Okeley (read about the real one here)

Anne looked very sober, way up there on a great big horse. Several times she started to slide off, but the horse lady took good care of her. I could hear her asking the horse lady what her name was, but Anne couldn't remember what it was on our way home tonight.

All in all it was a full, fun day, and a great day for riding a horse for the very first time.
