Let's Rodeo!

We went through another week of Natalya being sick.  We thought she was kicking it last Saturday but the bug held on through this week.  We were finally over it.  Then me and the Hub got it.  Anyway, we have recovered for the most part and were finally able to get back to life.  So we took the Hip Chicks to the rodeo.  This is the last weekend so we made it in under the wire.  We didn't go to any of the actual rodeo events.  Just the fair grounds which is all they want anyway.  Carnival rides, horse rides, petting zoo, sugar.

The Little Indians joined us.  These kiddos have grown up together.  It amazes me to remember them as babies.  It's always so much more fun with friends.

Natalya is getting riding lessons for her birthday.  Horses make her happy.

And monkey see, monkey do.  Boy, my girls are purdy.

Love the pics, Melody. We had a great time, too...can you believe I took 218 pictures?! I think I've narrowed it down to about 80 that I"ll post on the blog. :)

Just yesterday, as we left the rodeo, Priya asked (begged) for riding lessons. Never in her life had she had an interest...hmmmm...I think I see future Rodeo Queens developing===

Fantastic shots, and that last one is AWESOME! Is this the same rodeo that comes to Houston? We really wanted to try to make it because Eli would love all the animals, I know, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen with all we have going on. Sorry to hear your little one was sick ;-( Hope all is well soon!

Sorry to hear about the sickness in your house and hope it is gets gone soon. You are right, your girls are purdy. :) Love that last shot, what a great action shot of your smiley girl. Riding lessons will be really fun for Natalya. I think I was about 4-5 when I started riding horses on my own. As long as she has good balance I'm sure she will do well.

Nice pics and that last shot is GREAT!
I cannot wait until my daughter's hair is that long.
We've got the boots, just not the hair yet.
