Holy Cow!!

The family went to the rodeo this morning to see the animals. Collin was excited about it because he ran into my room while I was getting ready and told me that "we are going to see the cows and chickens! I gotta eat my Pop Tart".

The first thing we did when we got to the rodeo was to check out the petting zoo. Collin slightly afraid of the animals, so Daddy took him in and that was better. He enjoying pointing out the animals but did not want to touch them. I saw the pony rides and did not think Collin would want to do it because of the pony's size. I asked him if he wanted to and I was right, "nope". Maybe he would warm up and want to ride them later. The next stop was to check out the cow that was being milked. He thought that was really interesting and wanted to hang out there for a little while. We then found the baby animals. He saw baby cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. Daddy and Collin checked out the adult pigs that were nearby and then we headed to pet the bunnies. He did like this and got a bunny pin. It did not stay pinned long to his overalls.

We had lunch and then checked out the outside part of the rodeo in the Kid Adventures section. The first stop was to see the Mutton Bustin' which was little kids riding on the back of the sheep. He really liked watching this especially when the sheep would jump in the air after the kid would fall of its back. He then checked out Fun on the Farm where he picked an egg, planted seeds, picked oranges, milked a cow, then sold his goods to buy something at the market. None of the items were real but he really did have fun doing it...especially carrying around the basket. Here are just a few pictures from this morning. Guess who is asleep right now? You are partially correct, both Collin AND Daddy.
