Whoa!

At the county fair this year, Zane rode a pony for his first time. He was excited but got scared as his pony wanted to squat to scratch her back on the bar. The up and down movement and jolting made him want to get off, but he stuck it out.
  

Vanessa went down her first fun slide in a burlap sack. She was really high and went really fast.

And Vanessa has wanted to do the bungee harness jumping since seeing one in Clearwater, FL. This was a smaller version. She had to get on the scale to be sure she weighed enough -- she's hovered around the same weight for the last two years. She met the minimum requirement. It was a little scary and very hard. She jumped with all of her might to keep going, no matter the difficulty and how tired she became. It was hard to find a groove but she found hers.

Post-Jumping Comment: "I might also need to wait till I'm a little bigger and stronger to do that one again. Let's go find the caterpillar ride that goes around and around."
