Austin Rodeo 2010

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

One of the highlights of Austin in March is when the rodeo comes to town! And I'm not the only one who loved it! Miss Kyla practically had to be dragged from the place. She wanted to ride every ride and see every animal. We missed the "actual" rodeo portion since it's in the evening and just a little too long for the kids to sit through. But there was plenty to do with the carnival rides, petting zoo, pony rides, animal shows and carny food!

Carousel!

Little Miss and her Pink Corvette

Riding the whales

The train

Posing with the Longhorns for Papa

The Longhorns

Very seriously riding on her pony, "Lucy"

Mum, riding here!

My sweet boy just wanted to hug all the animals at the petting zoo

Kyla found a very attentive deer

She was fascinated

DJ tried to hug the deer, but they weren't putting up with it...

...so he found some goats

Feeding the animals one kernel at a time. In her defense, a wild goat knocked all her food out of the cup when we first went in, so she wanted to conserve what was left

Lovin' the dinosaur ride!

My first ride of the day ended up being a spinning kiddie ride

I preferred "the freefall"

Riding Monkey - he and the handler have had better shows

Last ride of the day - still happy - but she was SO sad to leave

The photos of DJ hugging all the animals cracks me up- what a nice little boy! Glad to see the kids are enjoying the nice weather.
