Last Saturday we went to the rodeo. The kids and I had been out of town for a week, so it was fun to get out and do something as a family. Natalie and her boys joined us. The weather forecast wasn't great, so we headed out pretty early that morning, hoping to beat the rain.
Ian's all ready to go!
Audrey volunteered and got chosen to wave the flags during one of the races (unfortunately our pig didn't win that time so she didn't get a prize like she wanted).
We then headed over to mutton bustin' (where they put 5-7 year-old kids on the back of a sheep and see how long they last). Ian was enthralled:
We couldn't convince any of our kids to try it out. Maybe Ian will be willing in a few years. I caught this cute picture of these cute cousin friends watching the show:
Time to play on the farm! The kids always enjoy this venue because they get to go through and do different things a farmer does and then at the end they trade in their produce for play money and then they get to buy a real treat from a little shop at the end.
From there we went to the petting zoo and no one was really that interested. They patted a few animals, but overall not too thrilled with the concept...
Llama, llama, where's your mama???
Checking out the students showing off their cows:
Once the rain slowed down a bit we decided to make the trek to our car and head home. It was fun to check out the rodeo. One of these years we actually need to get tickets to the actual show. I think the kids would really enjoy it!
