Rodeo

We were some of the brave people who ventured to the rodeo in the cold and rain this weekend. I thought Tyler would really enjoy seeing all the animals, and he did! The weather really wasn't too horrible because most everything was inside the exhibit hall anyway. Tyler got to see all sorts of farm animals up close.

Everytime I told Tyler I wanted to take his picture, he would immediately sit down. That's kind of dangerous when you're inside animal pens.

He also enjoyed driving the big tractors with Daddy.

I thought it would be really neat picture if he stood next to the huge wheels. They are a lot taller than he is! Tyler didn't agree that this was a great idea. If I wanted a picture next to the wheel, I had to be in it as well. Cheese.

I finally talked him into standing by this smaller one. But look at that sad face! He didn't like standing there all alone.

Chickens!

I tried to get a picture of Tyler with some of his rodeo-going friends, but he wouldn't stand still long enough to capture everyone at once. I probably should have strapped him into his stroller like the other babies. He enjoyed running up to each person and giving them a little poke. He was very proud to be free and unstrapped. Doesn't he look mischievous?
