West Texas Fair and Rodeo

These goats were ready to eat anything...include Maddie as a snack.



Look at the cute "kids"


Madelyn did not enjoy the forced torture of going down the slide. To her credit, it was pretty fast.

We went to Abilene to visit Michael's family and celebrate birthdays. While we were there the whole family went for a visit to the fair and rodeo. It's the same fair that Michael grew up going to each year; and he is pretty sure that the rides we rode were the same original rides. All day long to talked and salivated about getting Texas A&M fries. What the heck is that I asked? The Ag school has a contract that they are the only vendors of french fries at the fair, as fundraiser for the school. I must say that at least they lived up to all of Michael's hype. Madelyn had a good time at the petting zoo, but I was miserable. With 500 feet of these darn animals I could not stop sneezing and spent the rest of the night with a Kleenex in hand. Small sacrifice for the amusement of your kid.


Mackenzie, Jonathan and Madelyn riding a ladybug.


Madelyn's first roller coaster ride. If you can see her hunched besides me. She really did enjoy about 90% of the ride and even put hands up on the first hill. But she was not very keen on the hairpin turn.
I wish I could get the picture bigger, but this Madelyn and Jonathan crusin together.
