They Got to Ride a Real Chincoteague Pony!

Jill's Journal: Pony rides are always special. Pony rides on a Chincoteague pony while on Chincoteague Island are just a little bit more special.


These little girls got what might have been the highlight of their week: after perusing a pony store that had everything and anything pony-related that any little girl could imagine, they got to ride a real, live Chincoteague pony. Named Sammy, this particular pony mare was once one of the foals who made the swim across the channel. And the girls loved her.

In the midst of all the pony overload (not that that’s really possible), Erika said, “It’s like a dream, Mommy, a real dream come true!”

Madelyn quickly added, “A really big dream!”

Victoria, never one to be left out, exclaimed, “Yeah, a really, really big dream!”

I do believe they like it here.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us "stay at homes" !!

Love, MOM

Awww, thanks Mom! Hearing you say that makes it all worthwhile since you're a HUGE part of the reason I'm participating in this journal/blog! And of course, the girls especially wish you were right here with us. :)
Love you!
Jill
