Stock Show

Since the stock show is going on right now in Fort Worth, Justin and I decided to take Em.  She had a blast!  We walked through the barns and saw the donkeys, cows, horses and pigs.  Em loved seeing all the animals!  She had no problem with the animals with the exception of the cows.  She was fine with them as long as they didn't come up to the front of the stalls.  She didn't like them getting too close.  When they would get up and start moving towards her she would yell "no walk cows, no walk!" 

Her favorites were the FFA Childrens' Barn, Horse Barns, Petting Zoo and Pony Ride. Everyone was so incredibly nice. Several of the folks opened up their horse stalls to let us come in and pet their horses. Em was so happy!


 Em and I checking out the pigs at the Childrens' barn.  We were laughing at the piglets.  They had a heat lamp set up and the piggies were piling up in the corner.
Riding the pony.  She and Scooter had fun.  While riding she informed me that she needed a horse.  Here is a video of her riding.  I can just see in a few years us taking a stab at riding lessons.

Soccer

Today was Em's last soccer game.  All season she hasn't been that big a fan.  Usually we have to drag her on the field and watch her cry that the other kids are not sharing.  Well last week she did better but, this week she was an ALLSTAR!!!  She ran all over that field kicking the ball and even scored a goal! I am sad to say she was a complete ball hog! I think that Aunt Renee and Ga showing up caused Miss Priss to show off.

After the game we took team photos and received medals!

 Group shot.  Go team Apple Slice!
Proud little girl with her medal!
