Donkey Ride!

I am very proud of the way Wilson waited for his donkey ride, but now the big moment has finally arrived!

He spoke quietly to all the donkeys before deciding on one called Micky. The donkey-ride lady helped him into the saddle and he set off in a little group with other children.

When he returned he was helped down and thanked Micky before running back to tell me all about his adventure. It appears that donkey riding is much more difficult than it looks because the donkeys sway about a lot, but the little girl on the next donkey advised W to hold on to the handle on the front of the saddle, and not falling off was a bit easier then.

He also said he was pretty sure the girl on the next donkey fancied him, and I have to admit that in the photo she is giving him quite an admiring look.

Who knows -- perhaps a Holiday Romance is in the offing… although W's Fortune Teller didn't mention anything of the sort.
