A Trip to the Rodeo and Candy Factory

Last week Carter's school had a fieldtrip to the National Western Stock Show. I thought we had left all the cowboys and horses behind in Texas, but boy was I wrong. My sister Melanie was in town visiting, so she got to join us as well. We had a fun time watching the bulls buck the cowboys and all the other events. They also had a little petting zoo. McKay absolutely loved this; he could not get enough of petting the sheep, pigs, goats, and even a llama. He just ran from animal to animal. Carter, however, kept asking if we were done yet and if he could go wash his hands.




We also went on a tour of Hammond's Candy Factory last weekend. It was a lot of fun to see how they make old fashion candy - and the best part was that they gave a lot of free samples!
