"I had a pony!" (ride)

I couldn't help but think of that hilarious episode of Seinfeld when Erich had his first pony ride this past weekend. May 30th was Healthy Kids Day at the Langara (formerly South Slope) YMCA, where they had lots of fun games, free food and best of all free pony rides for all attendees. OK, so Erich didn't have a pony, but he sure got to ride one!

Erich also got to visit the fire engine and enjoy free tricycle rides around the parking lot. Very cool, very fun, and very jam-packed - so much so that the local radio stations were broadcasting traffic alerts in the area!

Healthy Kids Day - YMCA

We had a fun time at the very busy Healthy Kids Day at Vancouver's South slope YMCA. There were giant playgrounds held up by air compressors - but much to Erich's chagrin, he was still too young for many of them. The only one he was eligible for, he was not too impressed!

So, we took him to the other part of the event. The Vancouver Fire department had a truck there for people to see. Erich really enjoyed seeing the truck. He examined that truck from top to bottom. He got to sit in the driver's seat, as well as look at all of the hoses and valves.
