The Hobby Horse.

When we saw Pop & Nana (Mike's Dad Ray and Step Mom Jeri) in Florida while we were there on vacation they mentioned several times they wanted to get Griffin a spring rocking horse for Christmas. I've recently learned these are called Hobby Horses.

Yesterday I received a phone call from Jeri and she found one on Ebay. She wanted me to take a look and see if it's something he might like. She said she knew it was used, but she really liked it because the horse was one form and it was black. They had been to Toys 'R Us and didn't like any of the brown ones they saw there. We took a look at it and it looked like it was in pretty good condition. She asked me to bid on it for her, so it would automatically be shipped here. The starting bid was $49.99 so we placed a bid of $65.00 on it. There were no other bids at the time. There were two hours left on it and we had to run uptown. I told her I would look at it when we got home to see how we did. We were outbid. Darn!



She asked me to look online for her to see if I saw one that we might like. Well, I found this one:



Oh my ... I fell in love with it! I know Griffin will really like it alot!! It was $89.99 at amazon.com and shipping was only like $13.00. So really, the price of the "used Ebay one" plus shipping would be about the same amount as this one at amazon.com. I really felt a little funny about them paying this much for one gift ... but they insisted. So ... I ordered it for them and it's on the way to our house. Griffin is absolutely going to LOVE this hobby horse!

Thanks Pop and Nana!
