Could this be a sign our paralyzing fear of cows is in the past???

    Kabree got to perform in her very first Tiny Tot Rodeo!  Getting ready she was very excited and was running around the house with her stick horse Pal yelling "yee haw!!!".  When it came time to call the kids down to the arena Kabree was very excited carrying her stick horse in.  They had to hang out for a bit before it started, that about killed Little Miss, she really had a hard time, she kept running around the arena saying "I want to ride".  By the time they started (probably only 10 minutes but to a 2 year old it might as well have been an eternity) she was mad.  To make matters worse she ended up being the first contestant up too.  For her first event they had to run up to a hay bale and grab a pink ribbon and run back, she didn't really understand what she was supposed to do and when Zach tried to help her she got MAD, so Zach just picked her up and ran for her, that made her really MAD.  But then after she saw the other kids doing it she wanted to do it and kept saying "my turn".  Hanna and Justice ran it like they were pros.
    Her next even was the barrels, this time Hanna got to go first so Kabree was super excited for her turn.  When Kabree was up she took it serious she was very intent on making her horse run (yes her stick horse), she was yelling "yee haw...giddy up boy" and whipping her rains; but that darn horse just kept walking ; ).  Now remember Kabree's stick horse is made from a noodle so it is kind of big and hard for a two year old to run with between their legs.  Needless to say she was trying her hardest, having a blast, but no matter how hard she whipped her rains her horse still went a very slow walk.  By the time she got to the second barrel Zach decided for the sack of everyone else he better pick her up and run the barrels with her, Kabree was still smiles even though he did it but when they got done and he set her down she yelled "hey, I want to do it".
    The kids had a blast and loved the big blue ribbons they got.  Hanna got 4th place in both events so she got medals!  After the kids were done we walked through the animals and enjoyed some yummy fair food.  Kabree thought the animals were pretty neat and even pet a steer!  I guess only time will tell if this is a sign that her fear of cows is lessening.  We had so much fun and are very proud of Kabree for the great job she did.  We feel pretty lucky to be the parents of such a cute cowgirl!
