Pioneer Weekend: Park and Rodeo Time!

Some of my favorite activities over the 24th of July are eating delicious food at the park and going to the rodeo. This year was no exception! On Friday night, we took our kids and ate our favorite food at the park: Tri Tip from Big Papa's. It was absolutely scrumptious!!! I could eat that much more than once a year. After some delicious food, Cohen insisted (by running) on playing at the park playground. How can you say no to that request when he is waiting for you to catch up by the swings? Cohen was curious about the carnival when we walked by, but he is too little to understand that there are fun rides that he would enjoy given the chance (lucky for us, I know!).

On Saturday night, Tyler's parents took us to the rodeo. I know Tyler was a little nervous taking Cohen to this (from past experiences), but it turned out fine. It meant that someone was always on the go chasing Cohen, but other than that, we had a great time. Talon was an angel as usual. He fell asleep for part of it and then watched the second half. Even though his bed time was before the rodeo started, Talon managed to be a night owl and was the last one to sleep that night! We didn't stay for the end of the rodeo, but we made it until 10:00 which is pretty late for these little boys. I wonder how next year will be with a one year old and a three year old...
