We got to take just Trenton to the Rodeo this year. Our other two would have just got board. We took him to dinner where ever he wanted to go and then to the Rodeo. He also got to ride the mechanical bull and stayed on. Then showed everyone that he could do some pull-up from the Marine booth at the Rodeo. Who ever could do certain amounts of pull-ups got something from the Marines. Trent ended up doing 6 pull-ups. He got a Marine baseball cap. He had a group of people cheering for him. He had a lot of fun. He stayed interested in the entire Rodeo. It was almost 3 hours too. I was surprised. Of course i didn't take any pictures:(
I feel sooooo bad because I didn't get any other pics of the day. The parade is so fun and there are so many floats. I love all the horse ones of course. And the kids did really well at it, well all but Tatum. She wanted to walk with all the floats. There was one accident during the parade. A pony pulling a cart and a women went out of control and took out another horse with a grandmother and a grand-daughter on it. The hores fell due to the pony running into it and the people were smashed by their own horse. The little girl was wearing a helmet, so she and her grandmother ended up being OK. The parade was delayed for 15 minutes or so and then they both got back on their horse and road on. That was the first accident we have ever seen in a 4Th of July parade.
The fireworks were fun too. We are lucky because we can watch them from home. We sit in the driveway and see them perfect. Then we don't have to fight the traffic and the kids go right in and go to bed! We had a really fun day.
