We took the girls to the local rodeo in Fayette this past weekend and Sam's family were all there working and helping put on the event, so Mary Mac felt like she got extra-special treatment from all the "cowboys" as she called them. She was in Hog Heaven (ha ha) and loved every minute of it. Actually, both girls really had a great time and we stayed until 11:00 - Anna has never stayed awake that long in her life! The night of fun started with Mary Mac getting to ride a horse with some people Sam knows (check out picture below - such a natural) then they let the kids try and find quarters in a pile of hay. Later that night, they let 2 chickens loose and let the kids chase them and catch them. The final event was letting the kids chase 2 pigs in the rink! Hilarious!!! Mary Mac was real excited to run around with the kids, but she wasn't so into "catching" any animals! Her Pop (Sam's dad), Sam, and his brother Matt were in charge of bringing the pigs out. The funniest part was when the pigs were running from the kids and it made a turn towards Mary Mac and she was screaming! Then she proceeds to take a fall in the dirt and just stood there squawling! When I asked her why she was crying she said she didn't like falling in the cow poop! We reassured her that all of that dirt in the rink was NOT cow poop! Anyway, she had a ball and we all smelled like sweaty pigs on the way home - Yum!!!
Cowgirl Up !
Please notice Mary Mac running the opposite direction as the pig AND the other kids!

Love the picture of Mary Mac running AWAY from the pig. Too funny! I had to pull it up to be able to spot her in the crowd. I'm surprised, though, after seeing her try to catch a duck at Disney (while you guys were riding Big Thunder Mountain) and rough-handling the poor, little frog you caught for Blake. Maybe there's a little girl in there, after all!
