Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.....

Last night we took my in-laws to San Antonio for some good Mexican food and to see the Christmas lights on the Riverwalk. As we were waiting for our table (about an 1 1/2 hour wait - yuck!) we walked around the market square. There was a childrens bull riding machine. We watched a few kids ride, most of them falling off on the inflatable mat at the end. When we headed into a little shop to browse Alex said he wanted to ride the "pony". We weren't sure if he was serious because he's pretty timid and does not like rides in general. However, he did ride a real pony at a fair a few months ago and liked it so we let him try. Zachary went first and he rode a little and then fell off.
Then Alex rode. He never really smiled but he didn't cry and ask to get off. He also didn't fall off at the end. My camera ran out of room and didn't catch the whole thing on video but here's what I did get. At the very end they made it turn in the other direction.

Yee-haw!
