As you all know Alex is slowly working his way back in to the rodeo scene since breaking his foot back in July of last year. With that being said the girls and I finally got to go to a rodeo (the last one was Spanish Fork Utah for us) We loaded up and left the house at 4:30 a.m. to take Alex to Redding, CA, to run a steer. My girls are such good travelers, and we were happy to make it to Redding with out any problems! (Last year about 20 miles out Sophie up-chucked ALL OVER! The last bit of the trek into Redding is really windy and I believe she got car sick)
It was, of course, a gorgeous hot day! I laughed when we got to the arena because my girls looked like greased up piggies with all of the sunscreen I lathered on them. SOOO...there she is! Miss Ellie Jo at her 1st rodeo! She was such a good baby, dealing with the heat and being stuck in her seat, OUT OF THE SUNSHINE! I am a little nervous with our little red head and her skin, but she didn't get red at all! Alex did a pretty good job and may win a little in the second round. After his second run I said to El "yea your Daddy did good" (yeah I talk like an idiot to my kids) and she grinned SOOO BIG, it was adorable!
I had to get a picture of our little poser too! Haha she cracks me up with the faces she pulls for the camera! She is soo goofy! Don't you love her little outfit too? Auntie Mary gave it to her for her Birthday and it just may be one of the most adorable outfits EVER!
We only spent one night in Redding, then Alex headed off to other rodeos and the girls and I came home. But, we treated ourselves to some Applebees before we headed back to the hotel. Alex had control of the Bugaboos during dinner! I just love these two together! He is such an awesome Dad and Bugs absolutely adores her Daddy! Total "Daddy's Girl" right there!
So I thought our little first rodeo getaway as a family went soo good! Until about 20 minutes on the road heading back home Bugaboos UP-CHUCKED! UGH! =)
