National Western Stock Show

Last week, we went to the National Western Stock Show, aka the rodeo!

Chloe, all decked out in her cowgirl hat and boots!

Visiting the petting zoo.

Lucy, making friends with all the animals.

I ask her to smile for the camera and she thinks I'm talking to the sheep...

Chloe was very scared of all the animals, at first.


I think he wants your hat...

Unlike Chloe, Lucy has no fear of the bigger creatures.

Still a little unsure...

Now, Lucy has found a brush and is in a race to ensure every animal gets a brushing...

He definitely wants to eat your hat!

She's warming up to the little goat now!


Look Charlie, he has your eyes!

Feeding the goat.

These poor animals. I wonder if they have nightmares about children...

Lucy, holding on tight so the goat can't escape.

The animals really wanted to eat the straw hats...


Our cowboy dinner before the show.

We had to check out the John Deere display for Grandpa.

Lucy test drove every tractor.



Giving Daddy a ride.

Charlie, checking to make sure his passengers are all on board.

Waiting for the Pro Rodeo to start.


Charlie's favourite part. It's hard to see, but dozens of horses and riders glowing in the dark.

More horses...

Bareback bucking broncos! Seeing this live is awesome!
