Rodeo

Holly gave us some free tickets for a rodeo, so we thought we would make it our family activity for the week. The kids had mixed reactions. They loved the calf roping (when the cowboy didn’t miss) and the bull riding and bareback riding (when they stayed on for all 8 seconds). They didn’t have much patience for the misses or the 2 second rides. We decided to go home about half way through since it was getting late. They probably asked 28 times when we were going to leave, but when we got in the car they all said that they had loved it. Kids are funny. Abby really seemed to love it. She would clap and bounce whenever she heard clapping and was happy and smiling the whole time.

The best part of the outing was the conversation on the way home. The kids (mostly Ben) said lots of funny, random things (like "when it is night here, it is sunny in Africa" and "Qui-Gon Jinn is a Jedi Master, but Obi-Wan is just a Jedi Knight").
