Saturday was a very fun day. We got up early and spent the morning exploring houses in College Station. After lunch we went out to the barn where Aunt Robin keeps her horse, Scout. We had some apples that we wanted to feed the horses. Well, none of the horses were too crazy about our apples, but we had a great time watching Sam get up close and personal with these beasts for the first time. He wasn't scared at all!
This isn't Scout in the picture below. This is a baby...they have a special name...but I don't remember it. Ask Robin...she knows. I only know about cows. Anyway....Sam was pretty impressed.
Uncle John put Sam on the pony for a picture... 
Then he started telling stories. He told Sam that he could ride that pony. Well, that seemed pretty unbelievable, so Sam asked Aunt Robin if it was true.
Aunt Robin said that she'd have to see that to believe it.
Robin told John that he probably wanted to stand on the tackle box to get on the pony.
John was certain that he didn't need to. So, we all watched while he showed off his skills.
First, he took a big breath...and....
Well, we thought for a second that it was going to work...but we were wrong.
As you can see...this is as far as Uncle John got. So far the pony was winning.
But then Uncle John went over to the tackle box and easily climbed on the pony. Things were looking up!
Until he got cocky....He really started showing off his skills.
But, the pony decided he'd had enough!
Sam and Daddy took it all in!
