Fair and Rodeo time!!

One of my favorite times of the year is the fair time. The games, rides, animals and best of all the rodeo. We started off our fair week with a parade. The girls went to their dads last weekend because I had them the weekend before when they would have been at their dads. With them being at dads that meant that we only had Wyatt and by some stroke of luck David got the day off of work so he could go with us. Wyatt was so excited and dad getting to go with us was just frosting on the cake. The parade ended up being very long and by the end we had a whole grocery bag full of candy people had thrown and Wyatt had collected and were very hot. David cheated and stood in the shade the whole time back behind all the crazy parade goers while we sat on the curb so Wyatt could collect candy and see better.

 

 The fair started and with me being out of town this weekend we were not sure we would have enough time to go this year. We had thought that David was going to be getting tickets for the fair through work but last minute that fell through and with the weekend so busy we spur of the moment decided Wednesday night after work was the only opportunity we had to go. So we loaded up to truck and headed to the fair. First in at the request of the kids we went to see all the animals. Payten was not a huge fan of all the noises of the animals and Allyxis was very interested in all them though she was really concerned with the animals in cages. I don't know what she was thinking but by the look on her face it looked like she didn't understand why they were in cages and not sure what a few of them where. There are some bazaar looking birds.  Then we headed to the games and payten was aloud to play three games. She quickly picked fishing, darts and the hammer game. I was pleasantly surprised by her in that she did good at all the games and won three prizes of her own which she gave on to sister(isn't she sweet). We got dinner after games which is David's favorite part of the fair. Then were headed out when we walked by the rodeo arena but it was still going and David decided we could stop and watch for a bit. I love watching the rodeo and Allyxis proved to like it just as much as me. She sat and watched dancing to the music that came on. once over we headed home to get to bed as David had to be up at 3:30am for work the next day. We had a great night of making memories!
