Stock Show

The girls and I went to the Ft Worth Stock Show this afternoon. It was fun. I love the stock show! There are REAL cowboys and cowgirls there. These people are hard core. Brushin and combin their animals. Cowboy hats, boots and fancy belt buckles walkin around everywhere. Clarissa, next year you need to visit in early Feb. Last year we met a family there that was showing a steer. They gave us some insight into that whole world. The competition is fierce, with thousands of entries for one category. Anyway... Maris was in awe over all the animals. A turkey gobbled in her face and scared her and then a big ole pig scared her a little too. Here is a sampling of some pictures:

FUNNEL CAKE!! .......on a bale of hay, with the stench of pig in the air. Can't get any better than that! I would never have let Macie eat funnel cake at 11 mos. Whatta ya know? Maris loves it.


This tractor is HUGE! Macie won this little blow up unicorn on the midway. I am such a sucker.



Poor Mama pig. I feel her pain! Ha! Look at those cute little behinds though!



OK, this is a little scary looking. Just when I think Macie is growing up and really is a big girl, she brings her blow-up unicorn, named Rainbow Sherbert, to the dinner table complete with popsicles for dinner ("because they don't eat people food, ya know"). Makes me laugh and makes me glad she is still a little 4 year old girl.
