Buckin' Broncos

Busy day. Up at 6:00 to workout, shower, eat breakfast, and get out the door by 8:30 to a huge rummage sale of kids stuff with Grammie and Mandy. I have to admit I was nervous about shopping with two pros, but I hung in there quite well and bought a whole bag of clothes for $16.50.

We were home by 11:00 and Daddy, Poppy, and the boys were kicking back watching TV. We had to get prepped for our after nap trip to the Wool Festival, so I rushed around packing bags and picking out clothes, while the guys played with tractors and trashed the living room.

Thankfully the boys went down for an early nap quite easily which gave me the opportunity to snooze on the couch and Daddy time to play on the computer. Poor Ollie has been fighting a cold, so he zonked out before his head hit the pillow.

Soon enough we were off to Falmouth with Grammie and Poppy. As soon as we arrived, the sun disappeared and it started to spit rain. This should be great for Ollie's cold and little Harry. After a quick snack of chicken and dumplings we headed straight for the petting zoo/pony ride area.

As always, Ollie enjoyed the goats even though he wouldn't pet them.

Then we headed to the pony rides. Against Daddy's wishes, Harry went on his first pony ride and he LOVED it! That little guy even figured out to hold onto the horn and smiled the entire time. Of course I got quiet the workout, but it was totally worth it. And best of all I was able to gloat to Daddy that Harry was definitely ready for his first equine experience.

By now, the rain was picking up, so we made a b-line to the farm animal tent. As usual, Ollie was much more interested in the tractor behind the tent, than the livestock in the tent. However, Harry bonded with Marquette the cow and grabbed a handful of cow hair as I walked out of the tent.

Next we checked out a few craft tents, but realizing the rain was not slowing down, Daddy and I decided it was time to head back to Campbell County. Apparently this was a good thing because Ollie couldn't wait to get home and take off his shirt. Who knew he was such a little redneck?

Two warm baths and snacks and both guys passed out by 8:30. I guess riding the broncs is enough to wear out little guys. I'm off to bed too since there is probably a good chance somebody will wake up over night with cold symptoms.
