Last weekend Baby did two things for the second time ever and cemented her love for both, Trampolines and Ponies!
Apart from being bounced by Mummy, Baby’s first trampoline experience was at my friend Em’s house with her fab kiddies. To be honest Baby wasn’t upright much, until Annie held her up and bounced with her, but I could tell she loved every second. I blogged about our day, but have since found some more pictures that Em took and I wanted to share them.
Last Saturday we went to a local children’s farm, which had an impressive collection of ground level trampolines. There was a little boy on the one we picked and so Baby just hovered near the edge holding my hand. As soon as the little boy got off, she legged it! Straight across the trampoline in a kind of faulty towers meets trotting pony run. We were in stitches, it was hilarious! I am only sorry I couldn’t get my phone out quick enough. Then she stood, smiled and launched herself flat on her back. I did manage to get this little bit of footage. I can’t watch it without crying laughing!
Regular readers may know that I used to ride a lot and I hope Baby will want to as she grows up. At 9 months old she rode a donkey at the Christmas market without a hint of fear and a few weeks ago rode her first ‘proper’ pony. At the weekend she got the opportunity to ride another pony, which she absolutely adored! She is so brave and seems to love ponies. She wouldn’t put her drink down though, I think she has heard that athletes need to keep hydrated!
The only problem is now I think we will have to get her a trampoline and a pony!
I am linking up with the following fabulous bloggers and their lovely linkys.

Thanks, she seems to love ponies x
The look of sheer joy and happiness on the face whilst on the trampoline is priceless x
Author
Thank you so much x
I think your right, trampolines and pony’s all the way! Lovely pictures
Author
Thank you x
We’ve just bought our first trampoline from the same supplier. It’s already a huge hit with our three kids. Our older two boys are very respectful of protecting their little sister, who wants nothing than for them to bounce her as high into the air as they can. (I’ve warned the local hospital to expect incoming patients at any time …)

Ha ha! Oh I hope not, play safely kiddies 🙂 x
Aww! That video of her on the trampoline is brilliant! She’s such a cutie!
She looks so happy on the pony!! x
Author
Thanks, I watch it when I need cheering up, so funny! 🙂 x
Oh ground level trampolines are such a good idea! Ethan would love to go on a trampoline but I’d feel so much happier with him on something like that (He’s a lot bigger, at 4, but he’s also totally fearless and does things that scare me on a daily basis)
She looked so cute sat on the pony, what a lovely experience, I hope she carries it on like you said. Ethan sat on a horse for the first time a few months ago and he loved it, his Grandparents live by a farm and they have horses so he managed to get a chance when they went there for a little holiday, they’re going back next week so I expect he’ll come back a pro haha

They are so great aren’t they. There are enough heart stopping moment, without adding the height of the trampoline into the mix! I hope Ethan loves the ponies the next time he goes riding x
Aww she is so cute! I love her t-shirt 🙂 and trampoline too!
Author
Thank you! x
I wish we could have a trampoline in our garden, but it is far too sloped and wouldn’t be safe
Author
Such fun to be had, shame about your slope! x
Lovely photos! My little one loves trampolines too. Now if only our lawn was big enough to have one! 🙂 #WhatsTheStory.
Author

I have to say the Rolling stones top is a brilliant choice!

I used to love trampolines as a kid so I can certainly see the joy on her face! What a great capture. X

Love that she kept hold of that drink! You must be so pleased that she’s taken to ponies, always lovely to share a passion x
Author
There was no way I could prise her fingers off the cup 🙂 x
Oh so cute, its magical to get little moments like this. Even if you didn’t get your phone out quick enough first time round to film, you have some lovely photos.
She looks fab on pony, hope she follows in your footsteps. x
Author
Thank you, so do I 🙂 x
So many smiles in these photos, it is lovely and the video really made me giggle. So much fun to be had with trampolines and ponies! xx

Baby is going to have some very expensive hobbies. She has had a very active week! Loved the video. Beautiful girl x
Author
Aw thank you. Yes just like her mummy did! 🙂 x
Such cute photos Aby, she looks like she is having so much fun on the trampoline. I had a huge trampoline in our garden growing up and we loved it right up until our ALevels so I really want to get one for Mads and LL but I fear it would take over our little garden! x
Author
Thanks hun, she had a ball. We are thinking about getting one, but our garden isn’t the biggest either x
Oh the joy of discovering new things. I think a trampoline is a must, all mine up to 16 still use ours daily and as for the pony riding. lots of fun if very expensive. Baby is having a lovely early childhood. Thank you for sharing on #CountryKids

It is fabulous! I have ridden all my life (until I had to retire about 4 years ago) so I would love her to have a pony! x
I wouldn’t be without our trampoline. Glad she enjoyed her bouncing time – think ponies are slightly more expensive lol
Author
Thanks, yes they are but having ridden all my life I would rather she had a pony than a trampoline! 🙂 x
What great experiences and milestones
Author
I want to give her the opportunity to do lots of things x
Aww, she looks like she had a ton of fun! xx
Author
She did hun, and we did laughing at her xx
Haa haa – love her on the trampoline……Sebby isn’t sure yet but then he is not on his feet.

Her facial expression on the trampoline says it all! My two spent the entire day on my friends trampoline Friday – they love bouncing too, even at 10 and 8 x
