Our (Less-than-successful) Rodeo Trip

We tried to take the kids to the local rodeo a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was right in the middle of the afternoon and super hot, with all the shaded seats taken. None of lasted in the heat very long, but Nora was particularly fast to melt down, complaining that all she wanted to do at the rodeo was become a rodeo princess or ride the mechanical bull, neither of which we were willing or able to let her do. A shaved ice cone did little to calm her down. :)

I think we ended up staying only about an hour and a half. Oh well, it was a nice thought.
