BIG animals!

Just when I thought our BIG crazy summer was slowing down

Jake reminded me late Thursday night

about the big

RODEO this weekend

How could I forget about the RODEO?

We love the RODEO!

We have been looking forward to taking Trent

for a long time

We knew he would love the animals!

And he did!

He carried on a very long conversation with this very

BIG horse!

He was serious as he studied all the moves

of the awesome

cowboys and cowgirls.

He loved being spoiled with all the great

junk food-

eating MY hot dog,

almost all our nacho cheese,

close to an entire can of lemonade,

a ton of water,

a bag of animal crackers

and

half a Twinkie.

(Yes, he did eat dinner about an hour prior to this!)

Although he does move pretty fast

with the bear crawl

this is one time we were happy

he can't walk yet.

He really wanted to go inside the arena.

Luckily we had a couple "Catch the baby" helpers!

Maybe next year buddy!

Maybe next year daddy!

I was disappointed in myself

for forgetting about the rodeo.

Next year Trent will have

FULL

cowboy attire.

Yes

these are the same hats

Jake and I have worn

for 7 years

of Rodeo.

We were so happy to have our newest little cowboy

join us this year!

Love, the rockinryans
