We went. We didn't go to the Rodeo, but we did enjoy the exhibits and a few rides. The older two boys were working. We are getting used to family outings with "only 5" these days, and it's not quite as "bitter" and quite a bit more "sweet". LOL
AnyWHO....we were blessed when a man stopped us at the entrance and gave us all wrist bands for free entrance to the grounds. Shew. That meant we had $40 to buy ride tickets. We bought 24 - which would be two rides a piece and 3 for 3........Arielle, Stacia and I decided to do just one ride. We discovered Nolan and Zander are going to be the next generation of daredevils to enjoy rides with Mike.
Petting Zoo
Stacia was unsure
Babies were one day old!
"Yeah?"
Now I know what celery is good for! ::snort:: JUST JOKING!
Some sort of crab....
Even THIS made me sick....but I held it together because it would not be cool to puke while taking your 2YO off a kiddie ride. ::snort:: Hey it DID go up!
Cowboy photo for Bre who loves to take black and white train track photos!
The guys however loved this roller coaster - though we missed Krista!
And the youngest men got to ride the dragon too...(second car from back)
Last car in the photo!
Our favorite cake!
As we were leaving a really nice lady brought her horse out for the children to pet and such.
The crowds were really not bad. We stayed within budget. We think we'll do the Rodeo next year. Mike said it was time to leave when I began commenting on how good the sausages and funnel cakes smelled. I was looking around for a deep fried candy bar.....he dragged us to safety where the cholesterol demons couldn't attack. LOL Did anyone watch the Tim Hawkins DVD? "Spirit of Low Carb rain DOWN on me!" ::snort::

OH! MY! How I miss Montana and Rodeo's and rides etc. You and Dad just can't make it on anything to fast. :):):) Not me. I still hope to someday do a bungie jump! Not many years left for that desire though!
Kids looked like they had so much fun. Thank God for the ones who gave you passes etc. FUN! FUN! FUN!
DAD/I heading for Olive Garden for salad/bread sticks/potato soup. YUM!!
love/prayers

Looks like fun!
What a great day!
I love that sweet little timid look of Stacia's. She is usually so bold and daring. What a doll she is.
Bessie is our daredevil...loves all the rides and goes back for more! Not me!
Here's my rodeo story, which I'm not able to tell on my own blog. Holly must've been 5, Trevor 1. We ended up in the basement where the horses stayed until showtime. One particularly big, spirited horse was being led down an aisle, and we plastered ourselves against a wall to give it plenty of room to pass. The handlers were pretty quiet, the kids and I were pretty quiet, the only noise was the horseshoes on the cement. All of a sudden, Holly pipes up, loudly, "YEP!! IT'S A BOY, MOMMY!"
LOL.
