YeeHa!

We took the children to the stock show two weekends ago now. They petted kiddie-sized animals before we happened upon a mechanical bucking bull. The children perched atop some saddles and watched other kids ride, then we offered them the chance. Anna was willing to try. Alexander not so much: "No, I think I might fall down. I wouldn't love that." The guy operating the bull promised to go very slow for the really small kids, so we let Anna take a ride. Look how good she did! (Alexander still didn't want to ride the bull, even after seeing Anna having fun and not falling off.)
