Its Rodeo Time!

The Star of Texas Rodeo is here! We have been out to the fairgrounds twice this year. Raegan and I took the kids out to the fair during the day to see the animals, and watch our friend, Tate, do the mutton bustin'! He did great and even won a trophy. The kids loved seeing him hold on tight to the sheep. It was fun to watch. We also watched the Swine Sprints, which the kids really enjoyed too. We ate some carnival food and the kids rode a ride. We also went to the petting zoo, let the kids collects eggs, apples and potatoes. We went into the General Store and noticed after a while that Brooklyn was wearing a pink bracelet. I guess she put it on at one of the stores and and was wearing it! When we went to return it, the lady at the shop thought it was funny that we had a little shop lifter in our group. It was a fun time and we were all worn out after it.




We went back to the rodeo on Friday evening with Derek and had a fun time as well. The kids got to ride lots of rides and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also tried the ring toss and dart throwing. Barrett managed to win a teddy bear with skulls all over it. We met up with our friends the Browns and did a few more rides. All of the kids went on a little roller coaster. Brooklyn was a little scared during the ride, but when she got off she said it was so fun! We also went to the animal barn and saw the longhorns and sheep. Then we headed into the main arena for the rodeo events. It was fun to watch and the kids got a big kick out of seeing the events. Barrett kept asking when he was going to see the pretty girls go around the barrels and he finally did. After the rodeo, we heard the Randy Rogers Band. They were pretty good and we enjoyed listening to the music. The kids both fell asleep and so we finally decided to leave. It was a fun, enjoyable time for us. Can't wait for the rodeo next year.

Brooklyn's expression in the ride with B is too funny...she looks a little unsure of that ride. Glad you had a good time. Oh, and I love that Tate rode a sheep...precious!
