It's Not Our First Rodeo!

Actually it was. And...well... it technically wasn't even the rodeo, but only a parade to celebrate it that weekend! We went with our friends, Amanda, Paige, and Levi to Oakdale's annual Rodeo parade that takes place right before the start of Rodeo weekend. The Rodeo is huge in Oakdale, although I haven't ever been. We thought it would be a fun time with Ella and Evan experiencing their first parade, with lots of horses and floats going by. They had lots of fun! Evan sat with daddy on the curb and Ella sat comfortably on my lap the whole time, just soaking it all in! After the parade we walked over to a favorite bakery of ours, Moss Rose Bakery to get the kids something. It was a hit! I'm sure we'll do this all again next year! =)

Daddy and Evan

Mommy and Ella Bean-- she was very serious the whole time, soaking it all in!

It wasn't really that cold, and Greg even suggested taking off their hats, but I'm that type of mom that always wants them bundled up just in case!

Cousins, Kayli and Kevin came along to watch too! =)
