After the warm-up at preschool, we headed out to the Austin Rodeo with the Kuykendalls for the real rodeo. It was so fun for the kids and I am so glad Danielle was there to help wrangle our crew. Speaking of crew, here they are
Our first adventure- the petting zoo, which was crazy because hundreds of school kids had just showed up. Not sure if that was because it was the second-to-last day of the rodeo or because it was Friday or just random that they all came on this day, but it was PACKED!
After the petting zoo, we did pony rides.
Then we went to see the show animals and found some that were sponsored by Texas A&M - whoop!
Pig races were next and Bailey was picked to be the section representative and had the "Justin Beboar" pig won then she would have won a prize. Justin Beboar did not win, but it was still very fun!
Then our section was chosen to represent the Aggie pig and we narrowly lost to UT right at the end- boo!
Next we headed over to the carnival rides and this super super tall slide. The guy running it let the kids go 2 or 3 times more than what we paid for, which was really nice.
That's Blake and Weston up there.
On to the ferris wheel.
And then on to the tractors.
Last of all, I let Bailey do the trampoline, which she has been dying to do and thankfully by this time the rodeo was dead and she got to go for an extra long time.
The guy running it even taught her how to do flips and by the end she was doing double flips!
It was a super fun day in which kids napped SO well afterwards and the only thing I would change is that Blake got sick that night, meaning he got a stomach bug (yes, another one). I am learning to just be thankful for the healthy days and being okay with the fact that we are just super susceptible to stomach bugs. : (
