West Texas Fair and Rodeo

Last Thursday we went to the fair! We had debated taking our Pips, but we decided eh, let’s just take her. We got in free, thanks to a lady at my work. It was the arm band night where you purchase one for $20 and then you can ride all the rides as many times as you want. With rides costing 5 tickets on average, and tickets costing $1 a piece, this was clearly a great deal! We all got a band and set out to ride! Monks and Devin rode first, picking a fast ride that went around and around. Aikman is not scared of anything (ride wise) and wanted on everything. I told him no on some just because I didn’t trust the ride. He rode with both of us on rides and Pips rode quite a few herself. She was too short for some, but she rode all she could! I rode one with her and this little boy since he was by himself, and it went pretty high and fast and then would spin while you came down and the little boy almost got sick. I had to keep it from spinning. She was just laughing with her poor little head bouncing all around. She also loves “manitas up” and keeps her hands up in the air. She liked the rides fast like her brother. As a mom, it makes you so nervous standing down there, because what if they get scared or start to cry or want off and you can’t do anything? Do you act like a fool and run up and scream for them to stop it since your baby is on it? It is hard to watch. Luckily, both my little daredevils never had that problem and loved everything. We took a dinner break and had some sausage on a stick, nachos, a burger and some drinks. We grabbed some sweet snacks later like a funnel cake, caramel apple, lemonade and slushes. We stayed out until 10:00! Pips was tired and we felt like those bad parents who have little ones out late, but it was so fun! The kids were still having a blast and it was hard to leave. We then stopped at Bueno and grabbed some burritos which the kids devoured and then it was time to go home and get cleaned up! It was not a skip your bath night! It was nearly 11 when they were asleep. Poor guys. Oh well, the fair only comes once a year and I know they loved it! We all had an awesome time! 

Heading out!
