Anna Rides A Broncing....SHEEP???

Well unbeknownst to me, my daughter has the ability to ride a sheep. They had sheep riding for 3-6 year olds at the fair this year, so Charley told Anna that if she would go on it, that he would buy her a "Wool Warrior Princess" pink t-shirt that they were selling. Of course she said yes...how could any little girl resist new clothes...PINK at that...and...with the words PRINCESS on it. Little did she know what she was getting herself into :)

Well here she is!! She stayed on for 5.3 seconds and then fell off into the EXTREMELY softened up dirt. When she got back to Charley, we weren't sure if she was laughing, smiling, or crying. BUT....she did it and was rewarded with her pink princess t-shirt. After her ride, Charley took her over to the starting gate to just watch the other kids do it. One older girl who was just doing it for the fun of it (she was too old to be in the competition) got a little scared and didn't want to do it. With a little prodding from Daddy, Anna told her, "Don't be scared..you can do it!" The "host" said, "What did you say? Somebody give me a microphone. I have a little girl over here who knows how to commentate." So he actually gave Anna a microphone and had a little conversation with her. It was SOOO funny! He also asked her if she wanted to ride the sheep again and she said, "NO!" Imagine that! :):)

Although the boys were too old for the sheep riding, they were able to play "run after the sheep (plural) and try to get the purple ribbon off of the sheep's rear end".

Neither boy got the purple ribbon, but they had fun trying:)
