1st Rodeo Trip

Brooklyn's first rodeo trip, I wasn't sure what to expect from her. I knew she would love seeing the horses and cows but wasn't sure if she would sit and watch the rodeo. Well, she absolutely loved it!!!!! She loved everything about the rodeo. The food, the animals, the rides, the rodeo clowns and of course, her best friend Kyler.

Like every REAL cowgirl, you have to have the get up. No cowgirl is complete with out boots, number 1, tight fittin jeans number 2, a sexy button up and a real cowgirl belt to go along and tie everything together. She was the hottest little cowgirl I have seen in a long time.

The first thing we did when we got there was take her straight to the petting zoo. Brooklyn is pretty skitish around strange animals and I wasn't sure she would want to go in when it actually came time to walk in the gate but man she was a pro!!!! She took the food that the lady gave her to feed the animals and she walked right up to all of them and feed almost every single animal that was in there.

We had to wait for her friend Kyler to get there so we decided to walk down to the carnival because what 2 year old doesn't spot the huge carnival lights! I wasn't sure about letting her go on any of the rides at first so her and I went down the sack slide. I think I was more nervous being up there and getting ready to come down than she was (mom is a little afraid of heights!). It was a blast coming down the slide. You fly down those things!!!

When at the rodeo, you must ride the ponies! If you know Brooklyn, you know that her favorite color in the world is PINK!!!! The girl can not stay away from the pink. I know, girly colors and it drives mom up the wall. She had to love the color that mom does not like at all. Oh well, the things you do for your kiddos. When we got to the pony ride, there was a white shetlon pony that had been spray painted pink in her mane and tail. Brooklyn was dying to ride the pink pony. She was beside herself wanting to get on the pony. As you can tell she was ready to climb over the gate and not wait her turn in line.

When it was our turn to get on the pony, guess what??? The pink pony had been worn out and was being taken off the ride because she was getting chin splints. No good!!! It took major coaxing on mine and Daralyn's and a little help from Kyler telling her that the pink princess pony was hurt and she needed to go lie down. When we convinced her of this, she settled for a little brown and white spotted pony.

I am a horrible mom and didn't get any pictures of Brooklyn watching the rodeo. I was into it myself. It has been years since I have been to the rodeo and I have missed going so much!!! But Brooklyn sat in amazment and watched everything go on. She enjoyed the rodeo corn dog, good ol' lemonade, and tried cotton candy for the first time in her life and guess what?!?!?! The child did not like it at all!!! She couldn't get it out of her mouth fast enough!!! Weird, I know. But all in all it was a good time.
