2010 National Western Stock Show

We had so much fun going to the Stock Show last year with Grandma Pat, we decided to go again this year! Davis got into the spirit of things by wearing his cowboy hat. :-) And cute guitar outfit from Aunt Sister.


We paid $10 (a rip-off, I know) for Carter to have his photo taken with the horse but when he saw how big the horse was, he kind of freaked out. I asked Sean to get up there with him so we could at least get some sort of photo. The cowboy horse handlers thought it was funny when Sean asked if the horse could handle both of them. Apparently city folks don't know a horse's weight capacity!

I'm not too sure about this, dad!


Just take the picture so I can get off of here!

Our favorite stop...the petting zoo! The area was complete with hand sanitizer this year, since last year's Stock Show got a black eye from their e. coli outbreak linked to the petting zoo. We triple sanitized our hands afterwards, just to be safe.


We bought a cone full of animal feed before going into the petting area. It was gone in about three seconds. Literally, I put Carter down and this sheep came over and gobbled it all up! The only thing left was a stump from the cone. Thankfully Carter walked away with all of his fingers.

the llama was getting a little too close

My favorite carnival game as a kid! Carter was happy to just keep picking ducks out of the water, he didn't care about the prize.
