Cowboyin'

My folks came during mid-March, so you know what that means... RODEO TIME!

It was Liam and Dash's first carnival and livestock experience. Well, the first time outside of the womb. I waddled around last year and have been tired every since.

And, bonus, we met up with my brother's family! Did you know it's really really hard to meet up in the middle of a carnival?

Doesn't this look awesome? Giant human hamster balls in the water! My nieces and nephews tried it... but that's not them pictured. Our boys keep us on a strict sleeping schedule, so we only had so much time at the rodeo and the other kids had to wait a while for their turn in the tub, so we kept exploring the rodeo. I hear they had fun though!

Liam really seemed to enjoy the fun, wiggling all around to look at everybody.

Dash took the approach of leaning back and gently taking it all in.

The Baby Center portion of the livestock show is my favorite. Cute widdle bebee animows!

"Dad, did you see the twins? The twin lambs? Twins!"

I don't know which they liked better: the animals or the gates penning them in.

Poor little baby chick was stuck to his shell. So he was carting it all around.

Ah, close proximity makes interest increase!

Good thing there was glass to keep that finger from doing any damage!

Oh, funny thing, we stopped to eat some food and ended up sitting right next to a set of twins. Then they left and were replaced by ANOTHER set of twins! We must have been in the twin zone or something.
