Rodeo Weekend

 Reese and Boston riding various rides at carnival during the Famous Preston Night Rodeo Weekend.

 Boston had enough tickets to ride one more ride and he wanted to ride the big slide. I told him he would have to go up all by himself while I waited at the bottom. I thought he would be too scared, but I was wrong. He fearlessly hike up the 2-story stairs and rode down with a huge smile on his face.

 During rodeo weekend the hospital puts on a kids carnival with various free activities. Face painting (which was done by some of the high school student leadership, and if you can't tell-it's a horse), wagon rides, bounce house, photo booth, horse rides, fishing games, ring toss, archery, and other fun activities.
 Boston was too scared to ride the horse by himself, but he found his good friend Brandon (my Grandma's neighbor) to ride with him.
 Reese's friend Abby joined us that day and the girls had lots of fun together.

Rodeo weekend lasts 3 day,s and each evening there is a parade. Boston loved waving at the pretty girls riding horseback. 
The best part of Rodeo weekend for the kids, is being able to spend all three days playing with their cousins.
