Saline County Fair and Rodeo

We took the kids to the fair and rodeo here in town on Saturday night.  We had a blast!!!  The fair was free to get in.  We spent $20 bucks on tickets for them to use.  They rode the potato sack slide and seemed to enjoy it.  I remember doing that at the State Fair as a kid.  Mom and Dad let us ride that over and over.  We drank hot chocolate from a thermos and had a picnic at the fair. 

Anyway. After the potato sack ride, they went through a fun maze.  The last ride was the Carousel.  We were going to ride the Ferris wheel, but decided $20 bucks for that ride as a family wasn't worth it.  We checked out all the 4H animals- my favorite part of any county or state fair! Then, we grabbed some bottled water and headed into the Rodeo.

I think I enjoyed it more than anyone else.  I love seeing the animals and the smell of manure. There's just something about horses that have always been cool to me! Asia met a Rodeo Queen and even went down to get her autograph.  We watch Bull Riding, Calf Roping, Team Roping, and Barrel Racing.  Asia was impressed girls did this too! 

We didn't leave the fair until 11 o'clock that night.  It was a late night, but a fun one! The kids can now say they've been to a fair!
