We went to the rodeo yesterday. Aside from the fact that we pretty much needed to take out a small loan just to park, it was a good time. I think they should give financial aid and scholarships to deserving families because, jeez louise, it is not affordable family entertainment. We love to take the kids there and they both enjoyed it, but I seriously doubt we go next year. For entrance, parking, a dinner that left us all still hungry, 14 ride tickets to ride 4 rides, photo of kids on a longhorn and a beer (you know I ain't doing the rodeo without a beer!) it set us back 73 bucks. My husband is a tightwad, in a good way, but still a tightwad and that vein in his head was popping the entire time. Just wait until we head to Disney baby!
Jacob is learning about cowboys in school so he really liked "being a cowboy" although he was bummed we didnt go in to actually see any cowboys since we stuck to the livestock show, it would have cost us SO much more to see the rodeo. We also watched a cow milking demonstration which he instantly equated to Mom's breast pump, loudly for people to hear. "Look, Mama, it gets the milk out of the cow just like your boobies!" Adam liked the petting zoo...he woofed at all the animals. Jacob rode a small roller coaster twice and went into some sort of play areas at the carnival, but his favorite was the foot massagers. My sister sent him five bucks for his birthday and he spent one of them using the massager 4 times. Good times, good times.
