On Friday Andy took off work and we headed down to the Austin Rodeo. Emma was so excited to go and it was all she could talk about for days.
We started off in Kid's Town and Emma and Abby loved the Farmer for a Day exhibit.

Emma's favorite activity of the day was the "horse carousal." She loved it so much that she had to go three times.
Taking a snack break and learning how cows are milked.

Checking out the animals. I was secretly hoping the girls would just want to stay on the outside and not want to go in and pet them. I am such a germ-a-phobe that petting zoos bug me.
They made it in and loved petting the animals. I was ready with the hand sanitizer when they came out.
Checking out the baby chicks. So cute!
One of the popular events at the rodeo is the swine races. For each race you are assigned a pig to cheer for based on the section you sit in. One person in each section is designated the cheerleader for the section's pig. If your pig wins then the cheerleader wins a prize. Well Emma was the cheerleader for our section and our pig won! Emma was so excited to win a pig ball and a package of Oreo cookies.
We enjoyed some yummy Oreos after lunch.
My attempt at a sibling shot before we left.
Abby wanted her picture in front of the pig. She just walked over and waited for me to take her picture.
We had a great time at the Rodeo. I love the Spring Break tradition we have with going.

I am not a fan of petting zoos for the same reason! I wish they had a sanitizer bath on the way out.
