Memorial Day Weekend- Cowboy Hall of Fame

The next day after the Zoo, Brad, Alison & Emma met up with us. We planned to go to the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Chili Cook-off.
It was great! We have been going for many years, and the kiddos have more fun every year.

We take a tractor ride into the grounds...

We got the easy ride; Ileigh was asleep, so Chris had to wheel her about half a mile, through grass. Such a trooper. 

Excited kiddos. 


The first thing we did was get the kiddos on horses. They LOVED it. 


Eli was tippin' his hat to daddy. :) 

Awww...big smiles! 

We had to say thank you to the horse and pet him... 

We watched a man do rope tricks... 

and made a lasso... 


(even Memamaw made one!) 


Then we went on a stagecoach ride... 

(Ileigh had just woke up at this point...) 



Then a wagon ride... 

ate some stew and cobbler... 

and got our faces painted.  

Between that and the horses, I can't tell what they loved most. 

Then we went inside the museum and watched the square dancers. 

The kiddos entertained a crowd of their own... 


After that we hopped on the tractor for one last ride and headed to the "vacation" for naps.
(Eli calls every hotel he sees a "vacation" and I don't want to explain the difference to him just yet. It is adorable and he is growing up too fast already) 

Can't wait for next year!
