About a year ago Dax heard some people talking about riding sheep. Ever since he has begged me to let him, I told him about the Cotton Festival Muttin Bustin and ever since, about every week he asks, "mom when is the rodeo? I can't wait to ride a sheep!" We almost missed the sign up dead line, which would have been the end of the world for him. Needless to say, he finally got to ride his sheep today. He was so nervous, he never admitted it but he couldn't eat and was really quiet the whole day:) I thought he might chicken out, considering he was 2nd to last to ride and several kids got hurt or stepped on before him. But he didn't, he was brave and actually hung on tight! I don't have a pic of him on the sheep cuz I was recording it.
Kobe and Jace were in heaven playing in this corral
They got to do the boot chase
And won a dollar. Kobe
Dax helping round-up the sheep after these tough cowboys rode em like they were nothing:)
This was right after his ride, when he wasn't sure if he should cry from excitement it was over, or if maybe he was a little hurt!! So funny
A trophy and a bag of candy always makes anything worth it! Not sure if he wants to sign up next year, but I was proud of him.
