Every year, David takes the kids to the rodeo and carnival. They LOVE it, and spend most of the day going on rides, pettin' piggies, eating carnival treats, and basically having a good ol' time :-). I usually stay home--next year, when Gabriel can go without his nap, we'll go too. David always teams up with our brother-in-law Mike (Jenn's husband) who brought his 2 older kids. Here's a shot of all the little chittlins; left to right: James, Joshua, Rebecca, Audrey and Christina.
Checking to make sure the kids are tall enough. (For a while Rebecca wasn't tall enough for a good number of the rides, poor girl). Christina is not as petite, and was able to ride everything this year.
We're about to get WEEETTTT! (not really, but they still love it).
Of course, the Ferris wheel is a "must-do." Good thing nobody is afraid of heights! It's actually the world's largest transportable Ferris wheel--everything is bigger in Texas, right? 
Mike and James
The view from the top...
All the kids piled in for this one...
Everyones favorite--the BUMPER CARS! I can't wait until Gabriel is big enough to do this.
Next up, the SUPER SLIDE! Yee haw!
More slidin' fun...
and the racing cars (you know Joshua liked this one. He had the blue car and he came in 3rd :-). 
Last thing...the pigs, baby chicks, and some serious looking longhorns.
Sorry about the hind shot, but maybe this is a longhorn's "best side", lol. (Katie, are you reading this?)
As you can imagine, all the cowpokes were pretty tuckered out and ready to hit the sack after dinner ;-). They didn't eat much, got baths, and were sound asleep by 8PM!Nothin' like a day at the rodeo!
