Eating our Way through the Rodeo

Chris and I went on a date to the rodeo and it was fabulous. We literally spent most of our time eating, or deciding what to eat.  It was fabulous. Also fabulous was walking wherever we wanted without running people over with the stroller, not worrying about dirty diapers, kids running away, the incessant need for providing snacks...what a delightful evening.

We got there and perused the food deciding what we wanted to eat.  We got some friend oreos and nutter butters to tie us over then walked around the games and rides area (we usually avoid this like the plague with the kids...no good comes of bringing small children near fun, exciting things and tell them you're too cheap to let them do any of it...)

Chris surprised me with taking me on one of my favorite- and cheaper :) - rides...the swings! You know, the ones you sit on and they go way up high? It was great.

We got some fresh squeezed lemonade (with a sweet coupon!) and then got some dinner.- a delicious steak burrito thing and a half "loaf" of french fries (basically they stuff curly fries into one of those fryer baskets, yum).

Then we headed over to the rodeo.  It was a good night for rodeoing, One girl rocked the mutton bustin and one guy got stepped on by a bull...thrilling!

Then came Tim McGraw and I like him...a lot.  We were sitting in the middle of a rather intoxicated crowd so they were pretty crazy during the concert.  Kind of funny because they kept yelling "I LOVE YOU TIM!" but had told us before the concert (back when they were mostly sober) that they didn't know who he was.
It was a great night- totally needed a break from the kids so it was perfect timing.  Can't wait till the rodeo comes back next year!
