It's RODEO TIME!

(on the bus headed to Reliant)

Monday night Terry, Bella and I headed up to Reliant for the Rodeo. I LOVE Rodeo time! Bella also loves rodeo time. Mom and Dad usually go with us and they were suppose to but Dad ended up having to go to meeting so they didn't come with us. We missed them being with us this year.

Bella got some loves from Daddy on the bus on the way. She was very excited to see all the things around us while on the bus. There were all kinds of things to see out the windows.

The first thing we did when we got there was ride the carousal. She about lost her mind on this thing. She had SO MUCH FUN!! She would squeal and scream and make these precious little faces. I am so glad Daddy let me be the one to ride with her on this. We will definitely be finding more of these to ride!

Oh how I LOVE this sweet girl!

Next up was the petting zoo. Of course this was a hit as well. This child loves animals. She walked around a barked at all of them. Because that is what most people do, right, bark at farm animals? She actually walked up and rubbed her forehead on a goat (or a sheep).

This little guy kept getting away from her. But was oh so cute!

And the baby kangaroo!! This was my favorite. I still can't figure out what a kangaroo has to do with farm animals. Does anybody know the answer to this or am I totally wrong and this isn't a kangaroo at all? I don't know. All that matters is that Bella was a fan!

All that fun made us hungry so it was time for some food on a stick. Makes for real easy walkin' and eatin'. Or in her case.....ridin' and eatin'. Terry and Bella shared a corn dog that we believe was made with pancake batter and I thoroughly enjoyed a sausage on stick. You can get anything you want on a stick at the rodeo as well as anything fried! We enjoyed some fried oreos on our way out.....YUMMY!!

After we ate Bella and Daddy rode on this precious little train. Bella loves Choo Choo's so this was right up her alley.

After all the fun outside we headed into the arena to see more animals. We found a cow named Isabella and it just so happens she was one of our Deer Park cows!

Bella loved looking at all the animals and mooing at the cows.

She had to have a little time to stretch her legs before we headed into the rodeo.

She enjoyed watching all the rodeo events but was really much more interested in the all the people behind us. They were all there to see her, you know. She put on quite a show for all the people behind us. She flashed them here best grin, waved, said "hi", and flashed her best grin again.......over and over.

This was also very entertaining for her. She had her own chair for quite a while because the people that sat in those seats got there late. She got up and down about 257 times. It was great fun for her.

Then it was time for what I had so excitedly been waiting for.......LADY ANTEBELLUM!! Love them so much. I was so excited to see them this year. They are great!

We had such a great time and Terry and I get to go back on Friday night! This will be our first "date" with just the two of us, without friends or kids in about 22 months. We did go on a trip together this summer but this is our first date. Kinda sad for us that it has taken this long to get out together. We need to work on that :).
