A tradition I hope we continue - Tater and Daddy with all the bull-fighters and Lecile Harris, the most famous rodeo clown in the country. We got a pic like this at Tater's first rodeo, but unfortunately didn't last year. He and I were both sick last year and only made it to part of one perf - he was very cranky and very little picture-taking occurred.
At the carnival - Tater wasn't as ready for the rides as I though he was. He was just plain scared. I put him on the motorcycles, and it was great until they started moving. He screamed so much I had to ask the guy to stop the ride so I could take him off. Then we rode the carousel together and he even cried a little there. We went before the Friday night perf, so he may have just been worn out, I don't know. But even when we came back Saturday, he had no interest in getting back on those rides. Samm didn't really either, just the big swings.
Then Saturday night, Sara and I got an actual babysitter (for the first time for both of us!) and had a girl's night out. We had great seats and enjoyed a great performance!
And I'll leave you with a few pictures of my beautiful kids - taken especially for Grandma Mueller. My only regret is that I didn't get a picture of all us together this year. Oh well - I know a great photographer - I'll be calling her really soon. :)
