A day at the rodeo


The boys and I went to the rodeo with our local home school group and had a great time. They enjoyed seeing the tractors and petting zoo the most. They both sat up on a real long horn and posed for a picture! Keith really liked feeding the animals and when he ran out of food he found a piece of straw and tried to give it to any animal in his path. None of them took it and he couldn't understand why they didn't want it. At the same time, Ian was hugging all the animals and took a special liking to a deer and tried walking her through the petting area. It was sweet to watch them with the animals.

As we were getting ready to leave Ian spotted the fun house and wanted so badly to go inside. When I told him that we couldn't he took off running anyway. Normally he will stop and look back to test me but this day he didn't. He jumped up on the side, scaled to the platform and pulled himself through a circle! This of course means that I had to run and climb even faster to catch up to him! He was so mad when I pulled him away that he tried to hit me. I know he was acting out of being tired more than anything else.
