August 2010...The Rodeo, The Fair, and More Swimming

At the beginning of August our care group had a date night...intended for couples only but a few of us brought our kids because we couldn't get a babysitter. We traveled north to go to a real rodeo. It was so much fun and great entertainment!
The kids got to go in the ring before the event began and try a ride on a "mechanical" bull.
Carson goes first.
Then Jason.

And finally Madison.

We always make a trip to the local Montgomery County Fair. Besides seeing all the animals the kids love to try out all the farm equipment.

They also got their faces painted by a Christian group which shares the gospel with them as they get their faces painted.

Carson loved it.

And of course there was plenty of swimming and jumping in the pool on our deck.
