Well Howdy Howdy... we went to a rodeo last weekend. Maddie was over the moon to see all the horses and the rodeo Queens and Princesses riding them around the arena in their sequined jump-suits. The rest of us were stepping in poo and freezing our doodles off. Ha. But here are pictures from our morning there. In this one, Maddie got to meet one of the Queens and sit on her horse. It was a VERY big deal for Mad. :)
Noel would have absolutely nothing to do with the horses. Apparently he's scared of them. But, being the boy that he is, he entertained himself a safe distance back playing with sticks and exploring a field.
Emma didn't let me put her down the entire time. There were a lot of people there and it overwhelmed her. But she loved seeing the horses, and especially the wrangling of the bulls. Go figure.
Maddie got to ride around the arena after the rodeo. She was so happy, it's hard to describe.
Noel stayed as far back, pressed into the corner, while watching Maddie ride around. He still refused to take a turn, even when Damian offered to ride with him (and that's a big deal since Damian is not a horse guy either).
Maybe next year... :)
