President's Day Rodeo

Last weekend was awesome because Ryan had President's Day off and we enjoyed the rodeo that was going on here in SA. Before I get to that, check out Jaxson -- He insisted on mopping on Saturday during our weekly clean. It was cute to watch him work, although I think he just loved putting the mop in the bucket (not wringing it out) and soaking the floor :)


Ok, now to the Rodeo.... Jaxson the sheep



Looking at baby chicks ... I wanted to hold one so bad!
They had tractors set up everywhere for kids to "ride." Jax thought this was awesome!

Riding the horse and lassoing the sheep

HEB put on an exhibit where the kids learned about nutrition, gathered plastic food in their buckets, and traded it in for a treat (celery sticks) at the end. Jax loved gathering the plastic food, it was hard to get him to only put 1 of each in his basket.

Walking around the petting zoo --- slightly chaotic actually. All the animals, parents, and kids were all walking around in this small fenced in area. I was taking a picture of Jaxson and basically got knocked over by this large goat ...

I was too slow getting a picture of Jaxson petting (he was more like slapping the animals this time ... we need to practice petting softly) the pot bellied pig, but I love how his face shows how excited he was!

So you will notice that often times Jaxson has his hand on his head in our photos. It is so hard to get him to look at me when I am taking a photo, so I tell him there is a basketball on my head -- this is the result. At least he is looking right? What handsome twins!

Jaxson trying to feed the baby lamb ... awe

These baby goats were so adorable!

Deer at the petting zoo? I guess so - they had a couple in there.



CHEESE~!



About 5 minutes after taking this photo, I bought cookie dough on a stick (covered in chocolate and coconut) ... YUMMY! It was a fun day at the rodeo :)
