Grandpa Luke surprised us with tickets to the Dodge National Circuit Rodeo! When I shared the news with my boys a few days before the event, they immediately got decked out in their cowboy duds and played "cowboy" all afternoon.
We were so excited for our date night with Grandma and Grandpa Luke, but the day before the rodeo, Grandpa realized that the rodeo conflicted with our cousin's Jr. Miss Pageant, so they wouldn't be able to go. Grandpa felt bad, so the morning of the rodeo, he jumped in his car and drove up to have a cowboy picture with the grandkids! Then he took us out to lunch to Texas Road House before racing back home to travel to the pageant. I was amazed that my Dad went to so much effort to do something special for us! My children have the greatest grandparents (from both sides) on the planet!
We had "Gold" tickets, and were seated just a few feet away from all the action! Here were our favorite things:McKenna--The rodeo queens. (But she was very concerned for the poor calfs who were being roped and dragged all the time.)
Kyler--The bulls!
Carson--The broncos! (I knew he was having fun when he said, "This is the greatest day ever!")
Mom--The short music clips played during the action.
Dad--The shiny truck that carried the winners around!
