Well, it was no Houston Rodeo. Perhaps a more authentic stock show, but not as family fun friendly. The kids did get their much longed for cowboy hats though, so that's something. I think we started in the wrong spot...we went right to the want monster floor where they were selling hats, lassos, the chance to pet an animal (for $3), or ride a pony (for $6). Should have known when we first walked in...these two women invited Luci to sit right down on a fancy pink shoe chair & put a plastic thing in her hair. No price signs. They quickly put this lil twisty thing in Lu's hair...$10 later we walked away & took out the twisty thing...only to lose it before we even made it home. We should have started at the large animals. That said, both big kids finally got to spend their "welcome to Colorado money" that Grandma & Grandpa Pierse gave them - 1 pink & 1 black cowboy hat later the kids were thrilled. We walked around a bit & then went to our seats at the Wild West Show. That part WAS fun. I didn't even know people could do such stunts on horses.
Hugh loves him some Uncle Todd.
A tip of the hat!
Pretty in pink!
Uncle Todd & Aunt Krista joined us, which makes everything more fun. Not only are they super helpful with the crew, they never stress & always keep things fun. Aunt Krista took on the difficult task of getting some photos for us since my phone camera just didn't get the job done. We can't wait to play with them again!
