4th and 5th day

           We are really winding down to the end of the week. I missed writing yesterday because we got back to Grandma's too late. Yesterday was an off day.....nothing was really planned except the rodeo. Although what's another day without another quilt store? We piled in the Jeep (Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Meghan, and I) and we went to "The Quilt Barn". We saw so many adorable things. I bought an embroidery pattern and some fabric.
          Then when we got back to the house my uncle came. We waited around for a little while and my dad and my brother and my brother's girlfriend came! I was so excited. We decided to hurry to the fair grounds so we could hurry and eat there before the rodeo started.
          The rodeo was amazing. It was a blast. There was one unfortunate man who was riding a bull in the bareback riding and he hit his head on the bull's horn. Ouch!!! He looked like he was in a daze, and when he came off the arena the paramedics helped him by checking him out and he got an ice pack. Luckily no broken bones (but he was bleeding) he is going to have a whopper of a bruise.
           One of the best things at the rodeo are the cotton candy! I love everything about it. I love the sticky fingers, the colored mouth...it is so worth every minute to me.
           When Dad and my brother and his girlfriend first showed up they actually had a problem when it was time to leave for the rodeo. My brother left the only set of keys inside the trunk. BIG PROBLEM. So when we got back to the house after the rodeo Grandpa called a locksmith and he came over (we are talking 11 pm, bless his soul) and unlocked the car. They hadn't gotten out any of their things out of the car before he left the keys in the trunk. That was my night

          Today we woke up and I went with my dad and my older sister to the fair to show Dad our items and what we got. The best part of being there wasn't seeing the items...it was seeing the animals. We walked through the rabbits, the turkeys, the cows, the one horse that was there and of course the lambs and the goats. The goats were the best because Dad stuck his hand up to one goats mouth and the goat tried to eat his CTR ring. It was funny, he kept thinking it was food! I took a ton of pictures of it.
          After being at the fair for a bit we hurried home and we got our swimming suits on. We went to "Steadman's Ranch". It is a huge slip n' slide down a long hill and they also have a zip line. They have tubes you can borrow for free and the cost is free but they ask for donations. We had a BLAST!! We probably went down it at least 50 times or more. Even Grandma joined us as well as my aunt and uncle. I got a little sunburn but right now it hurts. Then when we came back to Grandma's house we ate dinner and my dad and I went on a walk to the docks. The walk was great except for gnats. They were swarming at our faces and we were quite through.
         When we got home we ate some ice cream and we ended the night with the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". It was a great day!
