Rodeo Parade 2011

The weather is cooling off, but when you are outside in the sun it feels like 100 degrees with no breeze. This year they combined the children's parade with the General Parade. We waited for the fun.

When is it going to start?

Let's have fun and try a picture...Oops the girls got cut off.

One more try...Oops what happened to Ryder??

The Silly Clown and his sillier horse.

Since when do horses were pants? This was Ryder's favorite part of the Rodeo. It was cool to see them again.

What parade would be complete if they didn't throw candy?

The caught a purse full.

Next year we must remember to bring bags.

It was fun, minus the bees, grandma that stole our frisbee, and the heat.

Ryder had a bee fly in his ear, luckily he didn't get stung. After all the screaming and some ice from a bottle he was fine.

Rylee had a guy throw a frisbee her direction. At the last second it swirved to the side and a grandma picket it up and put it in her purse. The whole time watching Rylee to see if she would say anything. She didn't and I was proud of her for not making a fuss.

2011 Dixie Roundup Rodeo

Rodeo Weekend was a little calmer this year. The kids had the assembly at school, but decided against participating in the children's parade. We only had the rodeo or radio (Reganne's word) on Friday night and Tough Enough to Wear Pink. We were ready for a fun night.

Dressed and ready to go.

Waiting for it to start.

And waiting.. Can we have treats? I am starving!

YEAH!!!

Grand Marshall.. Cool wagon & horses

Cancer suvivors with pink balloons.

Cute hair

The rodeo ended with not much excitement. Everyone still had a great time.

Rodeo Weekend: The Kids Parade

Last weekend was the annual Lions Dixie Roundup Rodeo and activities. This is one weekend that all the locals support and look forward to each year. Every year I have promised Rylee that we would do more, but there has always been something come up. This was to be the year. She remembered my promise and was holding me too it.

Friday afternoon was the Kids Parade. The school sent home flyers encouraging the kids to come and participate to defend their title. Off we went with our friends the Wheelers to start a fun filled weekend.

Rylee, Reganne, and Dakota

The parade was about 1/2 mile long. Rylee said no problem we walk farther than that from school. I told them they needed their tennis shoes and socks on. Reganne of course argued she wanted flip flops.

The Bat Mobile

Ryder shading his eyes or rather mimicing me as I was watching the parade with the sun in my eyes.

He loved the parade because they threw candy to him. It took him a few minutes, but then with the help of Jacy he picked up a lot. He wasn't so sure about sharing however.
