Yeehaw! Fun at the Rodeo

Yesterday we went to the rodeo!  :)  Eric, Olivia, Beth (a great old friend) and I met the Cochrans (Nick, Jaime, and Latham) at the rodeo for some fun.  Parking was NOT fun...and that is all I will say about that.  :)  Anyway, when we FINALLY got in, we went to the kids area for Olivia.  Her favorite part BY FAR was the outdoor petting zoo.  As soon as she got in, she threw her arms out in the air and squealed!  It was so cute.  She was following all the goats around and squealing at them.  She had a couple little goats that she always went back to, but she was a wild girl in that pen.  She "petted" the animals violently, and I kept having to remind her to be gentle.  At one point she made several attempts to KICK a little piggie, and when that didn't work, she made her best effort to RIDE the little piggie.  When that failed, she decided she would try to PICK UP the little piggie.  Poor piggie.  I didn't know pigs could move that fast.  :)  She pulled some ears, swatted at some tails, and slapped a few noses.  All in all, I say she had a marvelous time. 

You can't catch me Mommy!

Latham and Olivia enjoying the pig races!

Olivia is telling that little boy all about baby goats.  :)

Just try to get away from me goat!  I dare you!

Some of that tail slapping in action!

This little goat was just her size.  She loved it!  Later they had a staring contest.

Olivia and me.  She's staring at Jaime, who is behind the camera trying to make her smile.  

This is the only kind of carrot I will eat.  Hey, where is the ketchup?

Hiya cutie!
