San Antonio Rodeo

In February we went to the San Antonio Rodeo. Well, we didn’t actually go to a Rodeo event, we just enjoyed the carnival rides, petting zoo and other things going on. This should come as no surprise, but the rodeo is quite the big deal here in Texas. We sure stuck out since we weren’t wearing cowboy boots, a cowboy hat or plaid! We all had fun together exploring things one evening. Kennedy was mesmerized by all the carnival lights and loved looking around at all the people and things! 

I was so excited to take Kennedy on the Carousel and we thought she would love it and scream when she had to get off like most other kids do. Well as you can see from the pictures, she didn’t like it so much, but I’m a mean mom and made her ride it anyway…twice! I’m pretty sure she liked it eventually.

She’s doing her elephant sound.

I even joined in on the fun and went down the slide.

Ditto to everyone above... love the cut. It looks like you guys had a good time! It inspires me to take the boys out to do something beyond yard work! :-)
