Last weekend we headed over to the hobby farm for the Pony Rides for Charity event. A local group was raising money for an orphanage in Africa–some of the teenagers were selling juice and caramel popcorn, there were hay rides and, of course, the “pony” rides. The ponies were in truth some very beautiful horses which led to what was perhaps the inevitable question from Nora. “Dad, when can we get our own pony”? The caramel popcorn was also a hit and I guess we need to get the kids out more because it was a new concept for them that left them highly impressed. Popcorn is good and who doesn’t like caramel but putting them together–brilliance!
