The PBR was in town and thanks to my sister I was able to take the kids. Cody thought it was the coolest thing, he laughed then the bull wouldn't go in the gate, cheered the cowboy when he was riding the bull and just really enjoyed it. While he watched it I found myself thinking this could be bad, I might have just created a monster. Emily on the other hand, she loved that she got to wear Michelle's pink cowboy hat, after all it matched perfect with her pink cowboy boots. The rodeo itself she didn't care, about 9:30 I looked over and she was going to sleep so we headed home. I had to promise to take Cody to the one this year at the fair, he was not happy about not seeing the rest of it. Last week was Earth Day so this weekend the zoo put on a Earth Day celebration. They had all kinds of little tables set up, with lots of fun things for the kids to do. They got to talk to some weather men, and for kids that watch the weather channel it was perfect. Even better they had a little tornado that showed how tornado's are made, the kids have been asking so many questions and now they have answers. They also had a little area that you launched water rockets put drops of water on a penny and made boats out of paper to see how many penny's you could get on the boat before it went under. After we did all the activities we stoped to take a photo with the fake animals
and then headed off to look at the real ones. The weather was just perfect all the animals were out, we even got to see one that I have never seen before.The tiger was sound asleep by the window so we got a up close look at him, we could even see the paws and how big they are. Makes me happy not to live in Africa where you could come in contact with one in the wild.
After the zoo we headed off to the carnival which gets better every time we go. Emily is finally big enough to go on most the big rides, and they both think the kid rides are no fun. The first ride she did was the swings, while waiting in line she looked scared to death. They get to get on the seats and the nice girl that was behind them in line showed her how to do the seat belt, and then the ride went up and around and around and from that moment when she stuck her hands out she was hooked on big kid rides.
Cody wanted to go on this ride, so he ran over and up he went. The first time he went up he looked terrified then the next time he came down he looked so happy.
After a little bit we went into the mall and talked to a few of the cowboys from the night before, got a drink and headed back out. We rode rides for the next three hours, we then came home for dinner, chilled around for a few minutes and headed back to ride some in the dark. It was at that moment I went back to being a kid and seeing all the lights on the rides and thinking it was the most magical thing I have ever seen, and you know I still think it is the most magical thing you can see.
