Strawberry Days Rodeo

Last night we went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove. This is one of my favorite rodeos of the season because of the fresh strawberries in cream they sell. Ah! It's to die for! Anyways, we went a little early so that we could take Jane to the Carnival. She was a little hesitant at first--not quite sure what to make of all the people and rides and things going on. We had her ride with Trent on the carousal and she was so scared she was shaking at first, but by the time she got off, she was smiling. She then got to go on the little train, a big slide, little boats, and then on the train again. By the last ride, she was loving it! She even managed to take off her seat belt on the train, stand up and press the buttons that made choo choo sounds! She got caught by the ride operator and they had to do an emergency stop to strap her back in. Trouble maker :)After the carnival we headed over to the rodeo grounds. Jane had been looking forward to seeing horses this whole week so when she saw her first one, she lit up!! It was so fun watching her watch the animals. She'd wave hello to them and pat her lap for them to come to her. We were joined at the rodeo by Trent's brother, his wife, and their daughter Addy (Jane's favorite cousin) and then my brother and his fiance came as well. It was quite an entertaining rodeo. A lot of great riders, wonderful strawberries, and and getting to watch Jane enjoy it so much with her cousin just topped it all off. Jane even got to touch a horse! It was like Christmas for her! Next week Trent's going to take her to the Lehi rodeo. I think we have a little cowgirl in the making!
