{Kinda}Happy Fourth of July

On the Fourth of July, Ted was out of town. I took Lily and Ava downtown for the festivities. I saw a petting zoo and thought Lily would love it. Included in the petting zoo were Pony Rides. They were the  little ponies that are attached to a metal pole that just walk around in circles very slowly. I paid my $5 and without thinking twice sat Lily on a pony. Her whole body started to shake  and she started screaming hysterically. She was terrified. I tried to get her to relax and pet the pony, but she got more hysterical. I decided she was not going to calm down so I took her off, the lady handed me my $5 back and we went to look at the other animals (which she was slightly scared of also). When Lily is 15 and has a fear of horses, I will point back to July 4th, 2010. =)
