Yee-Haw...


This month's adventure included a petting zoo, the smell of manure, and men flying off the saddle.  That's right, the National Western Stock Show was in town, so we put on our boots for the rodeo!


My favorite event was the "Calf Wrestling" (I don't know the official name, but it's when the cowboys chase down a calf, jump off their horse, and tie up the calf).  


Nate's favorite was the bull riding.


Nate's secret favorite part was petting the farm animals...


Maxwell's favorite part was watching the clown hide in the barrel while the bull knocked him over!


And Zailah's favorite part was when we left the petting zoo, so that she could finally relax.




We had a blast (as usual), and we were tired cowboys as we walked out of the arena.  We didn't get to do half the activities that were available (which is pretty typical) but the rodeo was more than perfect for the two little ones.  Field trips are my favorite...
