Rodeo Fun

A few weeks ago we took L to see the rodeo.  We really wanted to go last year but him being not even 1 last year I figured the hassle of it all wasn't worth the benefit because he wouldn't have even cared.  This year though we thought he would really enjoy seeing all the animals!

 I love this picture :)

We parked and took the tram to the rodeo which was the best parking option, we went late afternoon and the trams came pretty frequent and had a place for us to put the stroller.

Once we were there, we decided to grab something to eat.  I had always heard about all the fried goodness and decided this was the time I would try it out! I had the fried oatmeal cream pie.  It was AMAZING!! I really could have eaten about 10 of them!!

Then we headed in to check out the animals and the exhibits.

We soon found out about L's love of trucks...he was beside himself over the trucks! By the time I could get my camera out he had regained some composure, but he was doing the pointer dog point which is his new thing if he is excited and just couldn't stop telling us all about something (we couldn't understand him)!  Ever since this day any truck that crosses his path is cause for a pause in his world and he will tell us all about the truck he sees!

Then we headed in to the petting zoo.  L was not having it...He would not let me put him down and when I tried he would grip tighter.  I mean to put it in perspective some of these animals would be like you or I being face to face with something bigger than us with no barrier, although he wasn't too sure about the little animals either.  He loved them from a distance. The chicks and bunnies were his favorite because they were in a cage :)

We had such a great time seeing everything and I cant wait to take him back next year when he is a little older!  It was so nice just to have an afternoon of fun family time!
