David's First Rodeo

Every year the Walker family goes to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo at least once. Ryan and Mindi's second date was to the rodeo finals back in 2004, so we really enjoy this annual tradition. This year was David's first time to go to the rodeo (1/31). When we got up David started out his day by checking out his toy car.

We got to the rodeo early and walked around looking at all the animals.

Aunt Courtney, David, Grampa, and the biggest bull ever!

David really enjoyed looking at all the animals. He got to see:

Baby chicks

Rabbits
I think it's a goat, but it could be a sheep

Roosters

Pigs!

Next year we will have to try the petting zoo. David did great during the Grand Entry. He clapped for the horses and riders as they went past and he flirted with the people sitting around us. When the band plays the Star Spangled Banner we know that they will have pyrotechnics explode and we were worried that David would get upset with the explosions. They didn't phase him at all - what a trooper!

The rodeo started at 7:30 PM and David was asleep by 8:15 PM, although he did wake up in time for the bull riding. Can't wait to see how he likes next year's rodeo!
