Rodeo Day

We had so much fun at the rodeo this year!! My parents are here for spring break so we are hitting all the hott spots. We had a plan! Wake up early and get there early, before the crowds! Our plan worked!! We got there by 9:30 after having a hearty Chick-Fil-A breakfast along the way. Went straight to the petting zoo where there was NO line. Walked over to the birthing center , where there was NO line.. Saw some chicks, some hens, a few roosters and then headed to the pony rides. We had about a 5 minute wait there but that is way, way better than it could have been. I had told Grandma to just buy one ticket for Skylar. Jimmy is going through a "timid" phase right now. When he saw the ponies though, he got really excited and grandma went to get him a ticket too. Patience is not Jimmy's strong suit. While we waited in line he kept kicking me and twisting around in my arms yelling, "my turn, my turn" We kept reminding him we had to wait our turn! Once on the ponies, both kids had lots of fun. 

After the pony rides we checked out some of the other livestock and then went out to the kids carnival. I went on the first ride with the kids and they LOVED it. The next ride, Jim was going to ride with them but he was not allowed. We strapped Jimmy in as tightly as we could and hoped he wouldn't fall out. They had the biggest smiles and laughed the whole ride! They are getting SO big :( 

After the canival we sat down to enjoy some PB & J sandwiches we had packed along with some fresh fruit and cheese! After we got all of that out of the way we had to have some good carnival grub. Cotton candy and a funnel cake hit the spot!! We enjoyed some country music while we ate and then Skylar got to go learn a line dance with some other kids. It was a fantastic day full of fun!
