2010 Stick Horse Grand Prix

I was feeling bold today, so we skipped naps and I took all three girls back to the Stockshow, so they could watch Miss Debra judge. They were so excited to go back and had a great time watching the horse show. We watched, until Gracyn couldn't sit still anymore and then headed out to explore the grounds. The girls were delighted to find the rodeo clowns. Reagan especially had fun with them!
Then, we wondered upon the Stick Horse Grand Prix and decided to enter. The girls were precious racing their horses around the obstacle course. Addison was on a mission with her horse, "Mia". She ran the course in 32 seconds and claimed her blue-ribbon prize. Reagan was hilarious!!! She skipped around the course and paused at each jump to do a little hop over. She too was proud of her ribbon.

Next, we headed to the Children's Ranchland. There we saw chickens, rabbits, cows and sheep. We learned about farming and played on the Rainbow Playsets. There was a carousel with real ponies, a train ride, and lots of photo opportunities.

Finally, we headed back to the arena to watch the show a little longer. Miss Debra came up on a break to say good-bye to the girls. We have had such fun out at the show this week. I think we may try to squeeze one more trip in before it ends. On a final note, I promise Gracyn was with us, she was just strapped to me in the Bjorn, and didn't make it into the pictures!
