the rodeo & the ride

meet buttercup and sunshine.

i can't believe that she will actually pose for me now.

unbelievable. she used to look away when i got my camera out. guess i won that one :)

she spotted this on the way in...

but we headed over to see the animals first.

she had to have her photo with a cow...

there were so many babies. i think this one was just a day old.

do you like how it says, "no standing" and she's doing just that? just realized that.

buddy enjoyed the ride.

and this pig enjoyed his sleep. he was snoring. seriously.

and the baby pigs. buttercup would tell you they were "precious."

and they were. she would also want me to tell y'all that she doesn't like it when i call her buttercup.

there were baby lambs too.

along with sunflower planting...

here's half of us....

and here's the other half...

and here's miss emma counting how many people are in front of her before she gets her turn

on this...

horses are still her favorite and standing in that line was definitely worth it.

buttercup had one more thing to check off her list...

this would be her second ride. her first ferris wheel adventure was with papa c.

daddy got to do the honors this go round.

they were up, up, and away.

while carson stayed down below with me.

they were still mid-air...i was using my mega zoom.

and then the ride was over.

or maybe it was just beginning. on our way to the rodeo, we found out that AT&T is buying T-Mobile. and if you don't know already, my sweet hubby works for T-Mobile.

we have lots of questions and very few answers, so if you get an extra minute or so tonight and want to send a prayer our way, we would be so very grateful.

so. very. grateful.
