The kids also picked fruits/veggies and "milked" a cow in the HEB area. Evie loved following her siblings around with a bucket of her own.
After that, the kids were ready for the carnival rides. It was awesome that Eli could ride most everything this year. Last year he was so sad because he was rejected from a few rides. Evie was an innocent bystander (yet again), but she still had fun. She managed to get on 2 rides, so it wasn't all bad. I don't even think Evie has a chance of riding any more rides next year either. Gotta love the Asian "shortness" gene.
B rode a few rides with the kids...including the caterpillar roller coaster. It was a small roller coaster, but the kids were still scared and did not enjoy themselves AT ALL. The ride is short, so it loops around the course twice. We didn't know that. When the caterpillar came back to the beginning and then started pulling out to go the second time around, Eli started shouting, "Nooo...nooo...NOOOO!" Poor things. Needless to say, they didn't go back to ride this one.
The kids' fave rides were the hot air balloon ride and the "Dumbo" ride. Evie actually got to ride the Dumbo one with B and she was in heaven! She was just so excited!
It's always interesting to look at the food signs at the rodeo. It's really Texas at its best, folks. Where else can you get a side of chicken fried bacon...
...with your fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich??
Seriously. I also saw signs for fried candy bars, like Snickers and Milky Way. We didn't get to try any of the fried fare...maybe next year I'll be more adventurous.
We love it when the rodeo comes to town...can't wait for next year!
