Last Friday, we headed to the rodeo to take the boys to the carnival. We met up with my friends Lauri & Michelle so that all of our boys (and Lauri's one girl) could enjoy the day together. We were all excited to partake in the festivities.
9:45AM Below, (L-R) Timothy, Connor, & Benjamin ride the rail to get to the rodeo carnival! Each year, riding the rail is as much of a hit as the rodeo/carnival is!
First and foremost, we get all of the kiddos to pose for a picture -- (L-R) Brady, Connor, Kaitlynn, Benjamin, Timothy, and Tanner! Brady, Connor, & Benjamin all started at Creme together almost 5 years ago, and Timothy and Tanner (Brady's baby brother) were born on the same day and still go to Creme together. They are best buddies! Kaitlynn is Connor's baby sister, and she is holding her own with all of these cowboys!!!!!
Timothy looks like a natural riding his pony!
Benjamin won't keep his hat on right - so he looks a little funny with his ears poking out of his hat!
Our little cowpokes! So cute!
Tanner & Timothy - best buddies! And...I DO mean - BEST BUDDIES!!!!
Benjamin and Connor on the slide! It went REALLY fast! They loved it!
Timothy wraps up the obstacle course - where his boot got stuck, but he managed to make his way out OK.
Lauri and I have been dieting and this day was a cheat day - so imagine how happy we were to eat funnel cake! Here, Lauri is smelling the funnel cake before we all dig in!!!!! We also enjoyed the jumbo corn dog, a few nachos, a bite or two of chicken on a stick, and french fries. :-)
We did NOT eat anyting from this booth, but a fried twinkie sure sounded good!!!!!! Only in Texas (and maybe Georgia) will you see a "Fried What!" booth!
Michelle waits in line with Tanner and Timothy!
Tanner, Timothy, and Connor - on the flying elephant! So cute!
Back view of the 3 boys while flying through the air!
Meanwhile, Brady & Benjamin are riding the jeeps! They look like they are really having a good time!
Timothy, Connor, & Tanner decide they'll take a turn riding the jeeps too!
Kaitlynn has been such a trooper! But.....she's ready to call it a day and take a nap.....so they head home!
Self Portrait - Harry and me watching the boys ride.
Brady & Benjamin holding hands as they wait to ride the ferris wheel (with Harry)! So adorable!
Up...Up....and Away!!!!
Here we are on the rail back to the car. We're all exhausted!
2:00PM. Timothy is asleep before we leave the parking lot - literally! He was so exhausted!
Not 10 minutes later, Benjamin is out!
So if you didn't think we were already crazy, get this -- Harry and I took a 2 hour break at home, fixed ourselves, and headed out to the rodeo AGAIN that same night with our neighbors and friends, Jennifer and Rodney, to see Lady Antebellum! Harry was given 4 VIP tickets, and since we love the rodeo AND Lady Antebellum, we couldn't resist going back, even though it was the same day! Below, are a few pictures of us before heading out!
And last...I never get a picture of me and my girl......so here is my sweet Lily and me.
We had such a fun time - both day and night. Until next year.....we'll enjoy our memories of HLSR 2011!
