Austin Rodeo 2013

We decided months ago that we were determined to take our bubba to pet the animals at the Austin Rodeo when it came into town and so we did! It was so much fun seeing his face!

Mawmaw and I got there with bubba before dada did and so we decided to ride Hudson's first baby canival ride. Luckily he's 32". There were only 2-3 rides he could ride and only one of those was open. The rest were 36" and up..except for the super cool teenage ones haha. He was a little freaked out while on it but he survived. No tears shed just a little uneasiness. Then dada showed up while we were on the ride and that made bubba's day!

After the ride we made our way over to Kiddy Town to show bubba the animals and pet them. Bubba was a little skittish at first but we helped him pet the cow and show him that we weren't scared. Then it was on. He wanted to keep touching the cow and all of the goats. They would gather around him and he would kind of uncomfortable but then wanted to keep feeding them. I love how much bubba loves animals.

Then of course we had to eat food that was bad for us. Burgers, fries, turkey legs, ice cream and cotton candy. They had red velvet funnel cakes!!! We didn't try one but man it sure looked good. We didn't want to leave until it was bubba's bed time so we walked around the fair grounds. There was this little jumpy castle thing for little ones with a ton of used toys in front. We played in there until Hudson was exhausted and headed home.

I absolutely loved how much bubba loved the animals. He was so proud to feed them and pet them. We had to say "soft" a lot and he was. Just to show me how much he liked it, we have this book at home with lots of first words in it and bubba usually loves to read the whole book several times. Today, he only wanted to go to the page with the cow on it! Looks like we need to get my bubba a farm. :)
