Rodeo, oh Rodeo...

In Eagle Mountain, we have Pony Express Days.  They have a parade, carnival, concerts, and all sorts of fun things going on.  This year, I was so excited to take Brandon to the rodeo.  I thought he would just love seeing the animals.  We went to the Friday night rodeo and the flyer said it would start at 6:00 p.m.  So Joe and I got off work early so we could be there in time for it to start.  Well, it didn't start until 6:30.  By then, Brandon was just wanting to RUN!  He didn't want to sit on the bleachers with us anymore.  So we let him run a little through some bleachers that were empty.  He loved that.  

Then it started to RAIN!  It got sooo cold and very windy with the rain.  Brandon wasn't really watching when the rodeo did finally start, so we decided to not torture any of us and leave.  I was so sad!  

On our way out, we found some ponies that little ones could ride.  I thought, what the heck, let's see if Brandon will ride one or freak out big time.  So, we paid our $3 and I put him on a pony.  

He LOVED it!!!  As we would walk round and round, he would yell, "Yee-haw!", or "Ged-up!" (gitty-up).  It was the cutest dang thing!  It made everything all worth it.  


Next time, we'll just go for the pony ride!
