Truett loves corndogs!
This is called the super slide, and if you can't tell, Truett is on the pink slide and Owen is on the purple slide.
The boys both got armbands to ride rides at the carnival. They went from ride to ride and had a blast. Owen rode a "space ship" ride 3 times in a row, and Truett liked the game of throwing darts at the balloons. And quickly, before you know it, one hundred dollars down the drain!
Hanging out at the petting zoo.
THE MUTTON BUSTIN' EVENT:
Owen is on the far left, being patted on the head by the rodeo clown.
Too young to ride, Truett watches from the stands.
For those of you who don't know what mutton bustin is, it is where a young kid rides a sheep. And I know this might seem like a strange practice to some people, but for me, I grew up going to rodeos, and there was always a mutton bustin performance, so it only seems "normal" for me to have my kid participate in that event. Anyway, this year, Owen was the first one to ride, so he was the first to walk out. Not scared at all, which is amazing to me. He did great, and held on to the sheep even though it took a hard right turn straight out of the shoot and ran straight toward the gate, causing Owen to fall off. No injuries-- which is always the goal of the event.
Here is the hard part for me to admit, but I did a terrible job with the video this year and didn't catch any of it! I must have thought I pushed the record button and didn't-- I don't actually know what I did-- but I only have about 2 seconds of Owen walking away from falling off the sheep. So these few pictures are all I have to prove my wonderfully brave son took part in the mutton bustin' today! (sorry).
Getting ready for the ride!
The shortest video clip EVER.
