We went to the Rodeo, yes in the rain
Ye-haw! It is rodeo time once again. This is one of my favorite things to do. I have been to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo since I can remember with my family. I am happy that we are continuing this tradition with Garrett. We went this morning to walk around the exhibits and barns before the rodeo which started at 2pm. Garrett was able to meet Elise the cow and pet her. He was very excited to be that close to a real cow. I really need to get him out more. He loved looking at the big tractors but did not want to sit on them. Next year we probably won’t be able to get him off them. We also talked to horses. He asked them how they were doing, it was too sweet. There was an exhibit of chickens, roasters and ducks. They were very loud and evidently that was very funny. We watched one very large chicken strut around in her cage, she slipped and he could hardly control himself. This kid can find humor in anything.
During the rodeo, he was about as good as I thought he would be. He would sit still for a little while and watch but then he wanted down and there was not room for him get down. Uncle took him for walks during the show and I took him as well. He is almost 2 years old and he missed his nap. What more can you expect from him? Sydney and Abigail were both getting antsy as well.
Branden was able to use his professional flash device and access the arena’s flashes. He took great action shots and he will post them soon. He was so happy to finally do this.
After the rodeo we went to the children’s petting zoo that we always go to outside the coliseum. Garrett loved this! You walk in and there are animals walking around everywhere. Little goats, big llamas, chickens, ducks, bunnies greet you when you walk in. He is such an animal lover. We left for home after the petting zoo. Nono and Pop and the Keck’s stayed to look around.
Garrett was very tired when we got home. So I gave him a bath, he ate dinner and was in bed at 7:15pm and we have not heard a peep from him. Sleepy boy.
We went to Abigail’s house yesterday to play and pick up the rodeo tickets. She took Garrett for a ride in her Barbie Jeep that Santa brought her. They were so funny riding around the yard. I took a few pictures and a video. Check them out.
Have a great weekend and GO COLTS!!!!
