Rodeo Getaway!


 We just got back home and unpacked from a 2 day get away to Redding, California.  Alex competed in the rodeo, he broke the barrier so did no good, but on a good note we had a GREAT family get away!  Above is Bugaboos at the rodeo grounds!  This little one is such an explorer.  After the 4.5 hour drive down there when her feet hit the ground she never stopped running around.  Rewind....on the drive down, like 10-15 miles from our destination, Bugaboos threw up...no GUSHED UP PUKE....twice!  I am 110% sure Alex's driving made her carsick!  It was soooo lovely to be puked all over, to have her and her car seat covered in puke, and my car's back seat covered in puke!  It was so sad, but she was totally fine after we stopped and got her cleaned up and set loose at the rodeo grounds! =)
 We spoiled ourselves with a nice motel stay, since let's face it, we don't have any upcoming plans of a real family vacation.  I was so excited to get Bugaboos in the pool!  This kid LOVES bath time so I couldn't wait to see how she liked the pool. (Thanks sis, I think Steph, for the hand me down swimming suit)
 The water was a little on the chilly side, BUT this kid didn't care one bit!  She was in pure heaven!  She giggled, talked, and splashed lots!  She even got her face in the water a couple of times and it didn't freak her out at all!  I am soo sooo SOOOO glad that she is looking to be a water baby!  After taking the picture, I got in and Alex and I tossed her back and forth and played tag in the water with her!  She LOVED it!  It was one of the most fun things to watch her play in the pool! ( I have a little video of her in the pool, but I can never get them to work on this thing.  However, I'll give it a try in a different post)
 Bugaboos watching the rodeo that night!  Every time they played music she got her groove on!  Funny enough the song that got her dancing the most was "Don't Ya Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me?"!  Hahaha
Before the rodeo, in the hospitality tent, Alex gave Bugs an orange!  I, after she had demolished it with her teeth, had to pry it out of her death grip!  I think we found her new favorite food for the time being!
She loved exploring the motel room too!  This turned out to be one of her favorite spots!  What a little dork!  

It was such a wonderful and fun little getaway!  We even ended it on a good note....made it all the way home, even with a 2 hour or so detour to look at a truck, with out Bugs getting carsick again! =)
