Rodeo Days

We look forward to rodeo days every single year. Its one of our favorite times! This year we hit the parade every night, the kids had a blast on Thursday & then I think like every other year by Saturday they were a little distracted & not even picking up all the candy thrown to them :)

Cute boys waiting for the parade to start!

Kiddos watching the parade

The kids rode most the rides they wanted on Thursday- seeing how that is the cheap night-  We got Tenley used to all the little kiddo rides- then decided to let her try the dragon with Carter (a littler roller coaster) she wasn't very happy when she got off that one. She said "scary mom"- all the other rides both the kids loved though! Carter liked the maze type one, where you climb & run threw obstacles & then it ends with the slide he went on that about 10 times while Tenley was too tired & we were all ready to go but him!

Monster trucks-this was their favorite together

Then...the dragon. This is of course when they first got on the ride :)

Carter & dad love the carni dogs- so they couldn't go without them every night. Carter is convinced they are the best corn dogs out there! We went to the rodeo on Saturday (thanks to dad for standing in line to get Carter signed up for mutton bustin) we got to watch him ride the sheep again as well! This time he was jazzed & couldn't wait to get out there & hold on tight. He did a little bit better than last time- he already weighs almost 50 lbs so hopefully he'll be able to do it next year when he is 5 & a tad bit more experienced. He is one tough cowboy & loves it! Tenley was a little wiggle worm at the rodeo, wanting to look back at the bulls, stand up, climb. everything. I thought she would have sat still a little bit better & watched the horses & such but no luck! She liked the horses for about 5 minutes & then wanted to run around & be her wild self!

Carter & Shae- the 2 mutton busters

Cutest cowboy & cowgirl EVER!
