Our First Rodeo

We went to the Ft. Worth Rodeo this past weekend with my cousin Jennifer Sue and her hubby Jesse. I thought it was really cool. First up was the actual rodeo. 2 hours of riding horses and roping cows. Gracie and the boys got bored. I actually liked it.

From the time she saw the cotton candy, Gracie wanted it. But we got there at 10 AM and would not give it to her until after lunch.

So, after the rodeo, we went to the petting zoo. Actually, everyone except dad and Max went to the petting zoo. Dad and Max went to the roller coaster.

He didn't know what to really think about it while we were riding, but he didn't cry. He didn't get scared. He just gripped the bar really tight. He was pretty happy when it was over.

By this time, we were 3 hours in (at least) and ready to eat. Plus, there were LOTS of people there and we were tired of fighting the crowds. And Gracie still wanted cotton candy. So, we had to get something to eat.

After lunch, we walked around the barns. Saw goats and baby piglets and baby ducks sliding down slides and baby chickens hatching from eggs. By that time, I was tired of pushing the double stroller through all the crowds and I was really ready to go. But we promised Gracie cotton candy. Steph and Jennifer found the candy apples on the way.

Then, Gracie finally got her cotton candy.

And then it was time to go.
